The river's running fast right now
It's the time of year the water cleanses itself
Running wild, but always in control
And now's the time to sever the ties
To habits that weaken, disguised by tradition

Drain away this fear,
Until it disappears
I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink
I just want to float through the sea
Are you pulling me down?
Are you holding me up?
Or are you slowly drowning me?

There's something to be said for luck
It's better than being good
When half of being good is being lucky, anyway
We're spreading out, we're harder to hit
Become a moving target,
Drop your burden,
And abandon it

Drain away this fear,
Until it disappears Yeah!
I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink
I just want to float through the sea
Are you pulling me down?
Are you holding me up?
Or are you slowly drowning me?

I remember a day when I could walk right down the streets and feel so confident,
And know everything's okay
Take my hand, don't let go, but please remember, hearts can grow
We still have to take it slow
I love with caution and trust, alone

I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink
I just want to float through the sea
Are you pulling me down?
Are you holding me up?
Or are you slowly drowning me?
