Lyrics

Been burning bridges every night
Make me a martyr
I can’t do anything right
Searching for somewhere to lay the blame
It’s hard to move on
When every day is the same

And I just want some new memories
To take the place of these

(Chorus)

Can’t mount a rescue
When you’re drowning too
I don’t remember how to swim, do you?
Head above water is good enough for now
I can’t promise to lift you up
But I’ll try not to drag you down

I’m sorry for some things I’ve said
For things I didn’t say
But whispered in my head
Sometimes a gentle healing touch
Emerges as a roar
A tongue barbed and rough

I don’t want anymore enemies
So be a friend to me please

(Chorus)
Can’t mount a rescue
When you’re drowning too
I don’t remember how to swim, do you?
Head above water is good enough for now
I can’t promise to lift you up
But I’ll try not to drag you down


(Bridge)
It’s just as well
To float along the surface
Waiting for a drier spell

(Chorus)

Can’t mount a rescue
When you’re drowning too
I don’t remember how to swim, do you?
Head above water is good enough for now
I can’t promise to lift you up
But I’ll try not to drag you down

Can’t mount a rescue
When you’re drowning too
I don’t remember how to swim, do you?
Head above water is good enough for now
I can’t promise to lift you up
And it may not be enough
If I cannot lift you up
I’ll try not to drag you down
