Take me down to the river, take me down, drown me again Take me down and deliver, yourself from all my sin Take me down Take me down Take me down to the ocean, wash your hands as you pull me in Deep into the emotion, waves crashing against my skin And then you go, and then you stay And then you tell me you don't like it this way Well I don't know, just where I stand, You take me down and you drown me again Take me down Take me down Sometimes you fly so high, I can't reach you I'm left alone on the ground I never meant to bring you down I can't reach you, I can't reach you, I can't reach you Take me down to your other places, show me all of your familiar faces Do you want me to bleed? your satisfaction's guaranteed And then you go, and then you stay And then you tell me you don't like it this way Well I don't know, just where I stand, You take me down and you drown me again
