'Drown' - Human Thoughts

Drown

You'll cheat on me with your ex
We both knew that was a symbol
We tried to make it just sex
But I drowned myself in your thimble

I know you have to forget a thousand
Things and learn a hundred new
And I might get forgotten lousy
And there's nothing we can do

But try (we can try)
Keep our eyes wide in hope
We try (we can try)
To keep a grip on this slope

Too bad we can't walk this walk
A flower supporting a lonely stalk
An outline drawn without any chalk
I drown in the back of your thoughts

It breaks my heart to ache
As I silently wake

The odds are terrible, who am I kidding
But the passion - it's worth every minute
For every second we do its bidding
I'll drown in a thimble of your sweat

I'll drown myself in your sweat,
I'll drown happy in your thick scent
I'll go down, a passage so wet
I'll drown myself slipped in your tent

(bridge-like thing two, four lines only)

(bridge-like thing one)

I'll go down and never come up
Your smile says you want me there
I'll drown myself in a thimble of dew
And I'll never come up for air
