to drift or to drown

VERSE ONE

there was something quite so strange

buzzing in the air like electricity

dizzy drunk and dazed out of my mind

from the currents running up and down my spine

VERSE TWO

i left my body, stepped outside my skin

it’s been a while since i have felt this comfortable

baby you’ve got magic in your eyes

been a while since i have let myself get this hypnotized

CHORUS

i had checked into that old motel

intending never to check out again

maybe it was all inside my mind

so why do currents still run up and down my spine

i wouldn’t believe you if you’d told me on that night

that the best was yet to come, in fact the best i’d yet to write

i crave you like a drug and i can’t wait to overdose

won’t comedown to save my life, rather be dead or comatose

VERSE THREE

you have a mortality thats heavier than most

the weight sits on my shoulders ‘til my back is nearly broke

every day i fear i will get that call

telling me you’re good and dead, dead and truly gone

VERSE FOUR

just in case it comes too soon

i wrote down things needed to say to you

fleeting dreams i can’t quite count

the bitter taste of sweeter mouths

CHORUS

i had checked into that old motel

intending never to check out again

maybe it was all inside my mind

so why do currents still run up and down my spine

i wouldn’t believe you if you’d told me on that night

that the best was yet to come, in fact the best i’d yet to write

i crave you like a drug and i can’t wait to overdose

won’t comedown to save my life, rather be dead or comatose
