lyrics

I should’ve died in Watkins Glen
Sink to the bottom here I swim with all my friends
Asphyxiating; I take the last plunge to the end
You watch, I sink, I choke, you wink.
I’m gone

She was 18 out in the sun
She held my heart and said I’ll hold on till you’re at least 21.
She held it out over the edge and said
I won’t throw it over with just a simple pledge
I lost my footing and she pushed me over the ledge

I’ll drown in front of everyone

And when they see the frowning cliff
Some day they’ll say that’s where the boy
Decided to take a dip
His face forever shattered next to
Seagull drip
A languid stop for lovers on their honeymoon trip.

We made a bed without the sheets
And all that was between the place
Where or two bodies meet
Was dripping sweat and summer night and that false feeling that in our world everything was all right.

And the water is cold
And the water is deep
And I pray that for once
It will put me to sleep.

The fall was immense,
Yet she never once cried.
But will I appear as the sea-foam subsides?

I long for the days yeah where we were together
But now that you’re gone I’ll stay sleeping forever

And the water is cold
And the water is deep
And I pray that for once
It will put me to sleep

Why won’t you just let me die?
