know you've noticed
'cause i've been feelin' it too
this growin' distance
makes it hard to stay true

i've been tryin'
to keep a hold of my heart
while you've been runnin'
straight into the dark

i can't follow you down
i'm gettin' out of this sinking town
i can't follow you down

nobody noticed
that the water is high
in the crowded alleys
there's just flickerin' light

it's no secret, that we're all scared to drown
but you are never too lost to be found

this city's smoke
gives me a choking fear
you've got a hold of my hand
but i can't stay here
