Blackwater Line

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found your coat on the chair Still damp from the rain outside Your keys in the ashtray stare Like they know where you hide The sink is full of dark My hands are shaking again I keep the screen awake Like you might call back in [Pre-Chorus] But the room keeps leaning in And the walls won’t let me breathe Every little thing you left Is pulling deeper under me [Chorus] I’m drowning, drowning In the space you left behind I’m drowning, drowning With your name still on my mind Hold on, hold on I say it to the floor I’m drowning, drowning And I can’t stay anymore [Verse 2] Your mug still wears that crack From the night we laughed too hard Cold tea left by the stove And the dog won’t leave the yard I tried to keep it clean But the dust came back to stay Now every small goodbye Is a wave that won’t obey [Pre-Chorus] And the room keeps leaning in And the walls won’t let me breathe Every little thing you left Is pulling deeper under me [Chorus] I’m drowning, drowning In the space you left behind I’m drowning, drowning With your name still on my mind Hold on, hold on I say it to the floor I’m drowning, drowning And I can’t stay anymore [Bridge] If you ever look back See the porch light on the frame That was me waiting there Learning love can bruise the same Now the water’s up And I’m done pretending strong If I drift from this shore Let me go where you have gone [Final Chorus] I’m drowning, drowning In the space you left behind I’m drowning, drowning With your name still on my mind Hold on, hold on I say it to the floor I’m drowning, drowning But I’m reaching for the door
