[Verse 1]
The sun comes up, I’m punching in the clock
Another long shift, yeah I’m back on the block
My boots are heavy and my hands are worn
Just trying to find a reason since the day I was born
The bills keep piling like a mountain of stone
In a house full of people, I’m feeling alone
[Chorus]
And I’m drowning, yeah, I’m sinking in this deep blue sea
Trying to find the person that I want to be
I’m working all day, chasing down the sun
But the race feels lost before it’s even begun
Yeah, life keeps pulling, keeps holding me back
I’m running on empty, fading to black
[Verse 2]
I pour a little whiskey, watch the shadows creep
Promises I made, they’re getting hard to keep
I tried to smile, tried to fake it for a while
But there’s miles of heartache in every single mile
I’m reaching out my hand, is anybody there?
Just a whisper in the wind, a heavy empty prayer
[Chorus]
'Cause I’m drowning, yeah, I’m sinking in this deep blue sea
Trying to find the person that I want to be
I’m working all day, chasing down the sun
But the race feels lost before it’s even begun
Yeah, life keeps pulling, keeps holding me back
I’m running on empty, fading to black
[Bridge]
Maybe there's a light, just beyond the bend
But I’m at the breaking point, and I don’t know how to mend
If there’s an answer, if there’s a way to break through
I’m begging for a change, someone to lead me to the truth
[Chorus]
'Cause I’m drowning, yeah, I’m sinking in this deep blue sea
Trying to find the person that I want to be
I’m working all day, chasing down the sun
But the race feels lost before it’s even begun
Yeah, life keeps pulling, keeps holding me back
I’m running on empty, fading to black
[Outro]
Fading to black...
Just looking for a hand...
Can anybody help?
[Fade out]
