Drown
OCHÉ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Feels like every season
I fall to a deep end
Don’t know what the reason is
But you the one I’m needing

Don’t let me drown
Don’t let me drown inside my pain

Cause if I do I’ll be ashamed
You’ll see the picture that I paint
Girl you’re my drug
Girl you’re my drug I feel no pain
That pussy make me feel no ways
I saw the end before it came

And you know I feel no ways
Touch me now I feel no pain
Love me now don’t let me wait
Hold me now don’t make me break
Girl you make me feel alive and that’s real
We don’t need nobody else but we
If I give you all my all would you bring
All your love cause that’s the only thing I need

Don’t let me drown
Don’t let me drown inside my pain
Cause if I do I’ll be ashamed
You’ll see the picture that I paint
Girl you’re my drug
Girl you’re my drug I feel no pain
That pussy make me feel no ways

I saw the end before it came
Don’t let me drown
