Drowning
Avicii(Armin Van Buuren Remix) Feat. Laura V Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rush, pull me under
The world is at my feet and it's no wonder
Your eyes speak to me, they tell me be calm
They tell me be strong
Swimming out so deep, now I can't breathe
And it's exactly where I belong

'Cause it feels like the ride of a lifetime
And nothing is gonna save us now
Let the waves come crashing down

'Cause it feels like I'm right for the first time
And every time I take you in
I feel my heart skip a beat again
I'm drowning in your love

Love, it's taking over
There's no in between to offer me some cover (oh-oh)
The tide is coming, I don't know if I can take it
I lose my focus, lose my focus
With every breath I feel my inhibition breaking
I can't control it (no-no-no)

'Cause it feels like the ride of a lifetime
And nothing is gonna save us now
Let the waves come crashing down

'Cause it feels like I'm right for the first time
And every time I take you in




I feel my heart skip a beat again
I'm drowning in your love
