I still remember her blue eyes, and the way her lips fell
And in that moment, I knew there'd be no one else
That all changed so fast for me, she went off for school
Now she's the campus queen, and I'm a small town fool

I feel like I'm drownin' above water, with no one to help
Like my dreams were stacked in a glass jar, that fell off the shelf
I keep pouring this poison right into my tired veins
Just hoping that maybe, just maybe it'll ease my pain

Then I know that I can't go on livin' this way
Fillin' my lungs with smoke and drinkin' every day
So I guess I'll work my ass off and surround myself with friends
Hoping I see your face but un..until then

I feel like I'm drownin' above water, with no one to help
Like my dreams were stacked in a glass jar, that fell off the shelf
I keep pouring this poison right into my tired veins
Just hoping that maybe, just maybe it'll ease my pain
It'll ease my pain
