Joe Jackson - Drowning lyrics

I don't love you But I'm lost Thinking of you And the ghosts Of so many special moments That pa**ed so quickly at the time And now they come and track me down And echo round and round and round And time goes quickly Or disappears completely And I feel like I fade away Like drowning I don't need you But it's so hard To be without you Though you're not far away I censor my emotions And tell myself to bide my time But every time you come around You batter my defenses down But so gently Like some sweet hypnosis And the world just slips away I'm drowning It's dark My heart is pounding I'm sinking down Into a pool of pa**ion There's laughter as I drown Like so many lost before me Damned by lust and gone to hell And then I look into your eyes And something melts I shake inside And cool water Washes me all over Washes me away And still I'm drowning
