[Verse 1]
Rest my head against the wall
Waitin' for a call that never came
'Cause time moves so slowly
When you're still holding on to blame
I tried but can't forget the day
You were reachin' for my hand as I touched your face
When your secrets were still safe from me
Till your eyes gave you away

[Chorus]
'Cause we are drowning above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers with a past that's
Just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real

[Verse 2]
And now I see the warning signs
With the benefit of hindsight, I was blind
To the way you'd make me feel so crazy
Just to protect your lies
And all I wanted was the truth
The better part of you that I still see
'Cause love is all we have to give
But you took my best for free
[Chorus]
'Cause we are drowning above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers with a past that's
Just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel something real

[Bridge]
And the one thing that really hurts is
We were so close to being perfect
And I know you'll be okay
And that's what kills me, yeah

[Chorus]
'Cause we are drowning above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers with a past that's
Just a string of small disasters
'Cause we are drowning above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers with a past that's
Just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real, somethin' real
Oh, I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real
