lyrics

I sent a hat for when you lose your hair.
I hope it’s still the kind you like to wear.
Just heard the news from friends the other day.
What would you say
if you could see the way that I still care?

Undercurrents pull me down––
wrote a hundred notes, threw them all away.
It’s even worse to watch you drown,
knowing I’m the one who will be ok.

When we were young, we’d lay out on your lawn.
We’d talk for hours, and night would turn to dawn.
We spoke of death as if we understood,
and you never could
convince me we go somewhere when we’re gone.

Undercurrents pull me down––
wrote a hundred notes, threw them all away.
It’s even worse to watch you drown,
knowing I’m the one who will be ok.

Stay up all night and stare.
My body just can’t seem to cry.
I’d let you turn me down each day,
if it meant that you’d end up alright.
We spoke this word before,
just because you were born in July.
I thought we had infinite time.

Undercurrents pull me down––
wrote a hundred notes, threw them all away.
It’s even worse to watch you drown,
knowing I’m the one who will be ok.

Undercurrents pull me down––
I could pack a bag, catch a plane today.
‘Cause it hurts to watch you drown,
but after all this time, what is there to say?
