Drowning
Another cloudy day
The weather man he calls for rain
I guess it's time to board up all my windows again
The clouds are rolling in
I guess there's no way I can win
At least this time it's not a big tornado blowing in
It's pourin' way too hard
For me to dance in the rain
It's safer just to wait
Until the storm gets blown away
The river yeah it's risin'
And I'm feelin' like I'm drownin'
Won't you come and bring me back to the shore?
A hurricane is comin'
I guess I should be runnin'
But there's no way to outrun the wave of a tsunami
The world is gonna shatter
But it don't even matter
'Cause a blizzard's gonna cover all the earthquake's dust in snow
It's pourin' way too hard
For me to dance in the rain
It's safer just to wait
Until the storm gets blown away
The river yeah it's risin'
And I'm feelin' like I'm drownin'
Won't you come and bring me back to the shore?
It's hard to tell the difference b'tween the raindrops and the tears
You'd think I'd know the difference after all of these years
Life's like a nor'easter with the cold and the rain
The start of the disaster is the middle of the pain
You can try and try and try but there is no escape
And you cry and cry and cry but you'll just have to wait
For the clouds to finally break
But they say it's always calm before the storm
The river yeah it's risin'
And I'm feelin' like I'm drownin'
Won't you come and bring me back to the shore?
The river yeah it's risin'
And I'm feelin' like I'm drownin'
Won't you come and bring me back to the shore?
Won't you come and bring me back to the shore?

I've been under a lot of stress lately and got inspired by splashing through puddles on my long run this week. And of course the country fan in my started hearing Rascall Flatts' "Fast Cars and Freedom" in some of the lines, so thanks to them for writing such catchy music!
