Drowning
Maynard Conor Lyrics

No, no, no, no, no
Expressing resistance or refusal to something.

Uh, wait
Pause or hold on for a moment.

You, gotta excuse me
Asking for forgiveness or pardon.

You see I went looking for yesterday
Trying to go back to better times in the past.

That’s where I think all the good memories of you and me, went, yeah
Believing that all the good times were in the past.

So I’m swimming in a sea of forgetfulness
Trying to forget the bad memories and focus on the good ones.

Just to get a glimpse of the you I remember, damn (Damn)
Desperately trying to remember the better version of the person.

I miss you cause the one I’m lookin’ at right now
Feeling nostalgic and longing for the original person.

She, looks just like sounds just like feels just like you
Identifying many similarities but still feeling unsatisfied.

But I’m so confused cause she don’t seem like you
Feeling lost and unsure about the new version of the person.

So when I get there
Anticipating a future time or scenario.

I’ll be drowning, drowning
Feeling overwhelmed and emotionally drained.

I’ll be drowning In our memories When I get there
Getting lost in the nostalgia of better times with the original person.

I’d rather be there than here
Preferring the past over the present because of the memories with the original person.

I don’t want a life saver (No)
Rejecting the offer of help because it may not solve the actual problem.

Unless it's gonna save this love
Willing to accept help only if it actually helps bring back the love.

If it’s not, then leave me right here
Preferring to stay in the current place if there is no hope for saving the love.

Let me breathe in the moments I won’t let go, of
Savoring and cherishing good memories that cannot be forgotten.

I wish you’d get back to that girl
Hoping that the original person can go back to being who they used to be.

The one that I remember as my lover, damn (Damn)
Wishing for the past version of the person who was the singer's lover.

I’ll be drowning, drowning
Feeling overwhelmed with emotional turmoil.

I’ll be drowning In our memories When I get there
Getting lost in memories of the past when the love was still strong.

I’d rather be there than here
Prefering to live in the past over the present reality.
