Drowning
Brian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rush

Pull me under
The world is at my feet
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 a run of a lifetime
And nothing's gonna save us now
Let the waves come crashing down

Cause it feels like I'm right for the first time
And everytime I take you in
I think my heart skip a beat again

I am drowning in your love
Cause I'm drowning in your love

Love
It's taking over
There is no in between till I find me some cover

The tide is coming, I dont 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 a ride of a lifetime
And nothing's gonna save us now
Let the waves come crashing down

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




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

I get chills when I listen to this. I am proud to say I bought AVB DownTempo Lounge Volume 4 on itunes. Had no idea who you were until today but your voice has haunted me since I first heard it last summer. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

I saw your comment on Mariah's live performance of Petals, and I agree, music IS emotion. This song is the type that deserves to be on the radio, because all I hear on the radio these days are ROBOTS THROWING UP. This, is real music.

I really like this song. She is very romantic and not straining. I set it in place of the alarm clock on my smartphone, but I wake up with the first note))
