[Verse 1]

The river's running fast right now

It's the time of year the water cleanses itself

Running wild but always in control

And now's the time

To sever the ties

To habits that weaken

Disguised by tradition

[Pre-Chorus]

Drain away this fear

Until it disappears

Yeah!

[Chorus]

I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink

I just want to float through the sea

Are you pulling me down? Are you holding me up?

Or are you slowly drowning me?

[Verse 2]

There's something to be said for luck

It's better than being good

When half of being good is being lucky anyways

We're spreading out (We're spreading out!)

We're harder to hit (We're harder to hit!)

Become a moving target

Drop your burden

And abandon it

[Pre-Chorus]

Drain away this fear

Until it disappears

Yeah!

[Chorus]

I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink

I just want to float through the sea

Are you pulling me down? Are you holding me up?

Or are you slowly drowning me?

Slowly drowning me?

[Bridge]

I remember a day

When I could walk right down the street

And feel so confident

And know everything's okay

[Breakdown]

Take my hand

Don't let go, but please remember

Hearts can grow

We still have to take it slow

I love with caution

And trust alone

[Chorus]

I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink

I just want to float through the sea

Are you pulling me down? Are you holding me up?

Or are you slowly drowning me?

I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink

I just want to float through the sea

Are you pulling me down? Are you holding me up?

Or are you slowly drowning me?

Slowly drowning me?
