[Verse 1]
Beneath the surface
I have found true despair
As my lungs fill with water
And I gasp out for air
The life in my eyes begins to fade
As my inner transgressions remain unpaid
I can't feel my own skin
Drowning in the undertow
(The undertow)
I'll never make it out alive
Will you revive me?
[Chorus]
I can't breathe
The weight of the world is pulling me under
Keep my head above water
So I can see you again
The waves crash upon me
Over and over, over and over
And I'm drowning in the sunset, baby
Will you revive me?
[Verse 2]
My fate is one that only I will know
I feel the wrath of all that lies below
I think a shark just swam right by my leg (What the f**!)
When will you realize that this is the end?
[Bridge]
On a ship, lost at sea
This storm is heading for me
In an ocean of my fears
Not a single life jacket here
I've fallen off the edge
I never learned how to swim
I kick and I scream
Caught in the rip tide
Deeper and deeper, I need a lifeguard (or something...)
I need them here
[Breakdown]
Contact the Coast Guard
No, seriously, help!
I'm not that buoyant
I need you to revive me
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Yeeeeaaaah, alright
Grab your partner and gather 'round
We're about to go downtown
This is how we do it in Tennessee
Watch carefully and play that cowbell
Yeehaw!
Needs more cowbell
Faster!
Eeeeeeeeyaaaah!
Red solo cups and chewing tobacco
