[Verse 1] Sun on my face like a weight White water in the grate My shoes drag copper and rain I count the cracks in the pane You call, and I sink lower Mouth full of river, no border The room turns hard as a blade Every bright thing is a fade [Pre-Chorus] I tug, I twist I can't resist Day keeps leaning on me Hard as a fist [Chorus] Drowning in daylight Drowning in daylight It pulls me under slow Drowning in daylight Drowning in daylight And I don't let go (let go) [Verse 2] Pocketknife, train ticket, salt All these small things start to tilt Glass on the table goes thin Like a moon trapped under skin You laugh from the far end of the hall I hear it bounce, then fall My pulse keeps time with the brace On the gate of your bright face [Pre-Chorus] I tug, I twist I can't resist Day keeps leaning on me Hard as a fist [Chorus] Drowning in daylight Drowning in daylight It pulls me under slow Drowning in daylight Drowning in daylight And I don't let go (let go) [Bridge] Open the blinds, watch me go Silver on the floor below I was built for the deep But the shallow's got teeth One more breath, one more burn Every bright room makes me turn If I rise, I rise through flame If I fall, call my name [Final Chorus] Drowning in daylight Drowning in daylight It pulls me under slow Drowning in daylight Drowning in daylight And I don't let go (let go) Drowning in daylight Drowning in daylight Let the white waves show Drowning in daylight Drowning in daylight I fade, I fade, I know (I know)
