lyrics

I never wanted this
And now I don't know how to fix
The holes that let the water in
And I
don't have the skill, nor all the tools
to fix the holes,
The water pools around my feet
I watch the water rise.

But I look out and see
The sun as it sets for me
It's beautiful, as I take it in.
But I look out and see
The sun setting for me
It's beautiful, but not as beautiful as you.

The water now is at my chin
Too bad I never learned to swim
The cold it stings and takes my breath away.
My heart, it pounds, I want to live
My breathing hurts, the water wins
And I slip beneath the waves.

But I look out and see
The sun as it sets for me
It's beautiful, there's nothing I can do.
I look out and see
The sun setting for me.
It's beautiful, but ot as beautiful as you.

The water fills my lungs and I
Don't have the strength, I just can't fight
Into the icy depths I succumb
As I descend even deeper still
A warmth appears from inside the chill
And suddenly I don't feel numb.

So, I look out and see
Darkness, surrounding me
But I don't care. I'm thinkin of you.

Get Set Go recommends:

Lucky Fucker
by S.A. Bach

Sebastian, hands down, is one of the most singular and passionate and skilled songwriters I have ever known. Like, if you know me at all, you know that those are the three metrics that matter. Get Set Go
go to album
Ash
by Eric Lea

Eric's music is everything you could ever want from someone that knows all the tiny bits about how music is made and still says, fuck it, I'm making MY music. I have learned so much from him. Get Set Go
go to album
Let the Machines
by John Brownell and his Spare Parts

John's newest record is the only album I have encountered that is trying to grapple with the idea that machines are taking over, and we're pretty okay with that. And that is pretty darn awesome! Get Set Go

I love how quickly it gets chaotic and they're singing different stuff on top of each other. Great to hear another voice singing with Mike TV. Not even jealous because it's so good and so different than anything else I've heard from him before but equally infectious. Production is top notch too. Love the dueling solos. There's a lot of gotdamn music in here. Sebastian A. Bach
