Suzanne Vega
Drown
[Verse 1]:
Thought it wasn’t a bad time
When you said to “meet you at midnight”
Thought I won the impossible fight
But I was so wrong
And I’m caught in the motion
Feeling out of control with
Myself and how I lost control

[Pre-Chorus]:
I’m sitting in the corner
Of my unconfining room
They’re all thinking that I’m normal
Darling you don’t have a clue
That I’m trying not to pick up on their stupid little cues
Just remember that I’m not just someone they can go and use

[Chorus]:
Fill up yourself with gasoline
They say that you won’t feel a thing
When you feel like your burning from the inside out
Replace your words with self esteem
Something you still have yet to seek
But time is almost running out, I feel like I’m gonna drown

[Versе 2]:
Terrified of the quiеt
Thought that I wouldn’t mind it
I thought everything would get so much easier
Turning off all the voices
I made some pretty bad choices
Had concern but I didn’t voice it
[Pre-Chorus]:
I’m sitting in the corner
Of my unconfining room
They’re all thinking that I’m normal
Darling you don’t have a clue
That I’m trying not to pick up on their stupid little cues
Just remember that I’m not just someone they can go and use

[Chorus]:
Fill up yourself with gasoline
They say that you won’t feel a thing
When you feel like your burning from the inside out
Replace your words with self esteem
Something you still have yet to seek
But time is almost running out, I feel like I’m gonna drown

(Fill up yourself with gasoline)
(They say that you won’t feel a thing)
(When you feel like your burning from the inside out)
(Replace your words with self esteem)
(Something you still have yet to seek)
(But time is almost running out, I feel like I’m gonna drown)
