Lyrics


Before We Drown

I've been thinking I can come back home

So how would that be, you and I alone

All alone


I have a feeling, you're not on my side

There's a distance, between you and I

You and I


First we stand up, then we fall down

We have to move forward, before we drown

We drown


I feel so naked, standing on the shore

Are you sure

Nothing's out there, nothing else no more

No more


First we stand up, then we fall down

We have to move forward, before we drown

We drown


We drown


First we stand up, then we fall down

We have to move forward, before we drown

We drown
