lyrics

I saw the summer slip away last night
It faded with the rolling clouds
As the clouds faded they took the sun
The sun is gone for now
This is the edge of the earth
As far as I'm concerned

How come you're always there
With your hand in the water
Reaching in to pull me out
My hands are always clenched
I hold guilt in both of my fists
Tell me, why won't you let me drown

I'm always the one with the rope around my ankle
The other end is in my hand
I pull myself east until I get to the beach
And drag myself through the sand
I'll climb the highest cliff
Find the heaviest brick
Tie the brick to the rope in my hand
And let gravity do the rest

How come you're always there
With your hand in the water
Reaching in to pull me out
My hands are always clenched
I hold guilt in both of my fists
Tell me, why won't you let me drown

You're the steady hand
I'm the one who's unstable
