Drowning, Not Waving Songtext / Lyric

This ain't stupid girl talk

So don't try and tell me so

I don't want to be rejected

Cos I let my feelings show



I'm just trying to reach you

Cos I'm in need of you now



Time won't be an answer

Let's talk about it here and now

Just try to be openhearted

We'll figure this out somehow



I'm just trying to reach you

Cos I'm in over my head






CHORUS

I'm drowning, not waving

I'm drowning, not waving

Not bending, I am breaking

It's an easy mistake to make

I'm crying, not laughing

I'm falling, not faking

I'm drowning not just waving

Won't you be my lifeguard



This ain't stupid girl talk

So don't try and shrugg it off

You can't just hold back the changes

Nothing stays the way it was



What I feel is an ocean

And I'm in over my head



CHORUS

I'm drowning, not waving

I'm drowning, not waving

Not bending, I am breaking

It's an easy mistake to make

I'm crying, not laughing

I'm falling, not faking

I'm drowning not just waving

Won't you be my lifeguard



I see another version of me

Who's only a day away

Stronger, a little wiser I guess

Someone who feels OK



But right now

I'm drowning, not waving

I'm falling, not faking

I'm drowning not just waving

Won't you be lifeguard
