[Verse 1]
Now I need air
Needed to leave there
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I feel
That I couldn't be anything I wanted to be there
And I wanted to see everything, everything, everything
And I couldn't be everything I needed to be there

And I felt like I was drowning, drowning, drowning
And I felt like I was drowning, drowning, drowning

[Chorus]
And I felt like I was drowning, drowning, drowning
And I felt like I was drowning, drowning, drowning
And I felt like I was drowning, drowning, drowning
And I felt like I was drowning, drowning, drowning
