Drowning
K.I.R.B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
I've been out here so very long
I done lost all my direction
Baby, when you came my way
But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
I can't seem to control these tears
That's falling from my eyes
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love
Baby, I depended on you
For the love navigation
But now you've gone and deserted me
Can't you see that I'm in desperation
I'm in the middle of a bad love storm
And it's bad as it can be
I look around, all I can see
Is water coming down over me
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love, sea of love
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love
But right now I'm just drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
A sea of love, sea of love
