Drown in You
Daughtry Lyrics

There's a place where you can light the fire and watch it burn
There is a location where you have the ability to start a flame and watch as it spreads out of control.

Lay it down and lose it all
Surrender everything you have to the uncontrollable, fiery force.

It's taken me so far beyond the point of no return
The flame has brought me to a place in which there is no coming back.

Gave all that I had
I have used up every ounce of energy and resources in my possession.

When hope is gone
At the point of near defeat; without even the slightest optimism of a positive outcome.

(Hope is gone)
Reiteration of the previous line.

Is this real?
Is this actually happening?

Or is it just another crazy dream?
Is it possible that this is just a product of my imagination?

Someday soon will fade away
This will be over soon, everything will come to an end and my reality will be restored.

Feels just like I'm underwater and can barely breathe
Complete submersion, in which it is hard to get a grasp on air and the overall situation.

Dying in the bed that I have made
Suffering the consequences of my actions and decisions.

I don't wanna drown in you
I refuse to let this overpower me any longer.

I'm sinking, then I'm torn in two
I am going under, and the difficulties of the situation are tearing me apart.

So when you see me come up for air
When I try to pull away from the situation, recognize that I am doing so for self-preservation.

Don't try to hold me down, just save me now
Do not deliberately hinder me from escaping, come to my aid immediately.

City pulls me in closer than I've ever been
I am completely drawn to this situation unlike anything else I have experienced.

There ain't no way I can escape
There is no way out of this, no matter how hard I try to fight it.

Without a doubt you know that I would tread the deepest end
You are aware that I would go to the most profound depths for this cause, no matter the cost.

Thousand years forever in a day
This feels like it will last forever, like a thousand years condensed into one single day.

Did I bring this on myself?
Is it my own faults and mistakes that have led me to this point?

Can I get out alive?
Is there a possibility that I will survive this unscathed?

Yeah, I've given you the best of me
I have already sacrificed the most important parts of me to this cause.

Now you want the rest of me
This has taken everything from me, and now it expects to take more?

What's it gonna take to survive?
What sacrifices do I need to make to come out of this alive?

Don't let me drown in you
Do not allow this to completely overcome me.

(Don't let me drown in you)
Reiteration of previous line.

(Just save me now)
A plea for assistance in escaping this situation.

(Drown in you)
The fear of becoming completely consumed by this fire is overwhelming.
