Drowning

I just nearly missed the boat but I'm safe here on the deck now
Breathless but glad to be afloat watch the lights slip by the portbow
I fought the urge to carry on til all my sober thoughts were gone
The kiss of life seemed cold and grey until I had the strength to say

I've opened up, I'll let it in, fill me up until I'm drowning
I've given up, I'm givin' in, fill me up until I'm drowning
Drowning, drowning, drowning down in you

Not everybody's got a saint, not everybody's got a lifeline
I'd gladly walk out on the plank if I'm just allowed to keep mine
I know I need it more than most, It's all I can do just to stay afloat
Caught by the long arm of your love and lifted safe and high above

I've opened up…
I've opened up…
