Drown
Kamikaze LTD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you're not
You know you got the power
To make me weak inside
And girl you leave me breathless
But it's ok
'Cause you are my survival
I can't imagine life without your love
And even forever don't seem like long enough
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
Maybe I'm a drifter
Maybe not
'Cause I have known the safety
Of falling free into your arms
I don't need another lifeline
It's not for me
It's only you can save me
Oh, can't you see?
I can't imagine life without your love
And even forever don't seem like long enough
(It don't seem like long enough, yeah)
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
Go on pull me under
Cover me with dreams
You know I can't resist
'Cause you're the air that I breathe!
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
(Every time I breathe, yeah)
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
(Baby I can't help it)
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
Baby drowning
(Ohâ?¦)
Got me drowning
Keep me drowning in your love
Baby I can't help it
(Can't help it, can't help it no no)
Got me drowning
I can't imagine life without your love
And even forever don't seem like long enough
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
(I do)
And my heart beats again
(Oh yeah)
Baby I can't help it
(Baby I can't help it)
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
(Got me drowning)
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love

Don't pretend you're sorry
I see through your fake apologies
I know you're not
I know the truth, you don't really care
You know you got the power
You're aware of the hold you have over me
To make me weak inside
Your actions can break me down emotionally
And girl you leave me breathless
You take my breath away with your presence
But it's ok
I'll put up with the feeling because of my attachment to you
'Cause you are my survival
You are the reason I keep going
Now hear me say
Listen to what I have to express
I can't imagine life without your love
You are a vital component of my existence
And even forever don't seem like long enough
All the time in the world wouldn't be enough to satisfy my desire for you
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
Every breath I take is a reminder of your presence in my life
And my heart beats again
You make me feel alive and my heart races with excitement
Baby I can't help it
I have no control over this feeling
You keep me drowning in your love
Your love is overwhelming and all-consuming
And every time I try to rise above
Though I try to resist, I can't escape your hold on me
I'm swept away by love
An intense feeling of love engulfs me
Maybe I'm a drifter
Perhaps I'm someone who wanders aimlessly
Maybe not
Or maybe I'm not
'Cause I have known the safety
I have found comfort and security
Of falling free into your arms
In your arms, I find a sense of freedom that I can't find anywhere else
I don't need another lifeline
I don't need anyone else to save me
It's not for me
That's not what I desire
It's only you can save me
Only you can give me the love and support I need
Oh, can't you see?
Why can't you see that I need you?
Go on pull me under
You have the power to completely immerse me in love
Cover me with dreams
Let me get lost in the wonderful fantasy of a life with you
You know I can't resist
I can't say no to you
'Cause you're the air that I breathe!
You are essential to my very existence
Baby drowning
I'm overwhelmed with emotion
Got me drowning
I'm fully immersed in this feeling
Baby I can't help it
I'm powerless to resist
Got me drowning
I'm completely consumed by this feeling
