[Chorus]
I'm drowning in my history
Prisoner of past defeats
Tell me what the future holds
Tell me baby (Oh)
I'm terrified of things to come
Paralyzed, I cannot run
Tell me what the future holds
Tell me baby (Oh)

[Verse 1]
One more teardrop
The surface tension breaks
And if the surface tension breaks
Then I will pour my pain and more

Then my heart stops
What will it take?
'Cause if it breaks, if it breaks
'Cause if it does, I'll turn to dust

[Pre-Chorus]
One foot in the past
And one foot in the future
I need to take a class
On staying right here with you
[Chorus]
I'm drowning in my history
Prisoner of past defeats
Tell me what the future holds
Tell me baby (Oh)
I'm terrified of things to come
Paralyzed, I cannot run
Tell me what the future holds
Tell me baby (Oh)

[Verse 2]
Bound and faithless, I turn to you
Say you'll help me through
Pray you'll help me through
I'm on my knees, can you help me?

Stuck in quicksand, I think of us
I think of us, in my mirage
I can't get out
And I'm scared now

[Pre-Chorus]
One foot in the past
And one foot in the future
I need to take a class
On staying right here with you
[Chorus]
I'm drowning in my history
Prisoner of past defeats
Tell me what the future holds
Tell me baby (Oh)
I'm terrified of things to come
Paralyzed, I cannot run
Tell me what the future holds
Tell me baby (Oh)

[Bridge]
So kiss me 'till the break of dawn (Ah-ah-ah)
And I will lie here in your arms (Ah-ah-ah)
And I will try to live tonight
Like it's the last day of my life
'Cause I love you, baby
Please save me from my mind

[Chorus]
I'm drowning in my history
Prisoner of past defeats
Tell me what the future holds
Tell me baby (Oh)
I'm terrified of things to come
Paralyzed, I cannot run
Tell me what the future holds
Tell me baby (Oh)
[Outro]
I'm drowning in my history (Ah-ah-ah)
Prisoner of past defeats (Ah-ah-ah)
Tell me what the future holds (Ah-ah-ah)
Tell me baby (Oh, ah-ah-ah)

I'm terrified of things to come (Ah-ah-ah)
Paralyzed, I cannot run (Ah-ah-ah)
Tell me what the future holds (Ah-ah-ah)
Tell me baby (Oh, ah-ah-ah)
