Jack Johnson Drowning Lyrics

Drowning Lyrics

Drink the water drink it down

This time I know I'm bound to spit it back up

I didn't want this salty substitute

Just not going to do I need some air

If I'm going to live through this experience

Reminds me of a clock that just won't tick



I want to wake up from this concussion

But my dream is just not done I'm late again

It's just one of those bad days look outside and

Be careful what you ride you just might find

That you're out of time to swim ashore

If I drift long enough, I'll be home



He's got delusions between his ears

Man it takes up too much space

And all that tension between his gears man

He'll never ever leave this place

He's got stones instead of bones and everybody knows

Ah man that can make you real real slow



And if Heaven was below he'd know just where to go

Dive in the ocean and he'd sink like a stone

And he'd say, "It's time to swim ashore

If I drift long enough, I'll be home"



Hold on if you can you're gonna sink faster

Than you can imagine so hold

Now just hold on if you can you're gonna sink faster

Than you can imagine so hold

It's just time to swim ashore

If I drift long enough, I'll be home
