Lifeboat
Drowning in Choices, Patched by Love
Lyrics
I tore a hole in my lifeboat
I intentionally damaged my support system or safety net
Now I'm going down
Now I am facing the consequences or challenges
I think I did it to find out if you'd let me drown
I did it to test if you would allow me to suffer or fail
You sat there staring at me
You observed me without immediate action
Then you threw me the glue
Then you provided the means to fix the situation
All I needed was you
I only needed your support and presence
All I needed was you
-All I needed
Emphasizing the simplicity of the needed support
The urge to let your skin touch mine
Expressing a desire for physical closeness
It hurts, but I'll say it's fine
Although it hurts, I pretend it's okay
To please, just a female tendency
Acting to fulfill societal expectations related to femininity
The air wraps around us in
Ambiance of hopelessness surrounds us
Despair and its running thin
This feeling is diminishing
Do you care if I can't breathe
Questioning if you care about my struggles
I don't, just a female tendency
I don't mind, it's a feminine inclination
I tore a hole in my lifeboat
Repetition of the need for support and presence
Now I'm going down
-I think I did it to find out if you'd let me drown
-You sat there staring at me
-Then you threw me the glue
-All I needed was you
-All I needed was you
-All I needed
Reiterating the simplicity of the required support
Your hand, is an invitation
Your touch is an open invitation
A promised land I've heard so much about
Describing your touch as a promised, talked-about land
I stand, without contemplation
I stand without overthinking
No backwards glance
No looking back, no possibility of returning
There's no going back now
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the situation
There's no going back now
-I tore a hole in my lifeboat
Repetition of the need for support and presence
Now I'm going down
-I think I did it to find out if you'd let me drown
-You sat there staring at me
-Then you threw me the glue
-All I needed was you
-All I needed was you
-All I needed
Reiterating the simplicity of the required support
I don't wanna take it, take it
Expressing reluctance to commit or take ownership
Take it off the table, table
-You're gonna have to break it
-Break it like it's yours, yours
-I don't wanna make you mine
-Cause then I'll have to pay the price
-So I'll just take it day by day
-Cause you know how to pave the way
-I tore a hole in my lifeboat
Repetition of the need for support and presence
Now I'm going down
-I think I did it to find out if you'd let me drown
-You sat there staring at me
-Then you threw me the glue
-All I needed was you
-I tore a hole in my lifeboat
-Now I'm going down
-I think I did it to find out if you'd let me drown
-You sat there staring at me
-Then you threw me the glue
-All I needed was you
-I tore a hole in my lifeboat
Final repetition of the need for support and presence
Now I'm going down
-I think I did it to find out if you'd let me drown
-You sat there staring at me
-Then you threw me the glue
-All I needed was you
