[Verse 1]
We were caught in the pouring rain
And you asked me if I'd mind
If we could retreat to a secret place
Buried in the dust of time
[Verse 2]
You took me to the water's edge
Our feet were bare; our hands bound
We waded till the current swept
Away the thoughts of our old town
[Verse 3]
The trees hung low along the river banks
Forgotten kings with tarnished crowns
They gazed as if they knew our names
And told us stories as the sun went down
[Verse 4]
By moonlight some ghosts did rise
Like memories from our childhood
With them we bottled fireflies
Lanterns for when we venture to darker woods
[Verse 5]
We leaned back into the summer breeze
Just as the rain came pouring down
Arms are spread as the water hit her face
This is what is feels like to drown
[Verse 6]
At that moment she took my hand
And said surrender to the stars now
Cause you're nothing but dust my love
This is what feels like to drown
[Chorus]
This is what feels like to drown
This is what feels like to drown
This is what feels like to drown
This is what feels like to drown
[Chorus]
This is what feels like to drown
This is what feels like to drown
This is what feels like to drown
This is what feels like to drown
