Drag Me Down

[Verse 1]
Take a look at my life
Realize I got it pretty good
Everyday completely free from bias
Everybody acting how they should
Got a nice roof above my head
A closet full of fancy clothes to wear
A girl occasionally in my bed
It ain't too often but it ain't too rare

[Pre-Chorus]
Papa told me, "You don't know how lucky you are
How lucky you are"
But I can't help feeling so small looking up at the stars
Up at, up at the stars
If life's so easy then just tell me why I feel so blue

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been wasting time on beaches
Making clouds out of sand
I tell ya' time is like an anchor that just slipped from my hands
It's dragging me down, it's dragging me down
Into the ground, into the ground
Don't let it drag me down
Don't let it drag me down
Don't let it drag me

[Verse 2]
In the morning, take a look in the mirror
Study every line on my face
Try my best to conceal the fear
Tired eyes and a bitter taste

[Pre-Chorus]
Papa told me, "You don't know how lucky you are
How lucky you are"
But sometimes pain you can't see don't leave no scars
Don't leave no scars
If life's so easy then just tell me why I feel so blue

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been wasting time on beaches
Making clouds out of sand
I tell ya' time is like an anchor that just slipped from my hands
It's dragging me down, it's dragging me down
Into the ground, into the ground
Don't let it drag me down
Don't let it drag me down
Don't let it drag me down
Don't let it drag me down
