Drowning Without
Drowning Without: A Tale of Lost Love and Regret
Lyrics
I hate when you cry
Expressing dislike for seeing the person cry.
You don't deserve a guy
Acknowledging the person's value and stating they deserve better.
Who's immature and dull
Describing oneself as immature and uninteresting.
And doesn't try enough
Admitting a lack of effort in the relationship.
(Oh)
An interjection expressing a realization or emotion.
You're worth more than a moment
Acknowledging the person's worth and regretting not recognizing it.
I didn't value that
Regret for not valuing the person enough.
Too bad I spent it all; maxed out that credit card
Regret for spending all emotional or relational "credit" or investment.
Can we at least be friends
Asking for a continuation of some form of relationship, even if just friends.
You've got me overthinking things
Feeling overwhelmed with thoughts due to the situation.
These nights away can drive me crazy
Distance causing emotional distress.
I hate to see you look away
Disliking the idea of the person turning away.
I made this mess myself . . .
Taking responsibility for the current situation.
I'm scared I think
Feeling afraid.
I blew my chance with something
Regret for possibly losing an important opportunity.
I can't replace
Recognizing that what's lost can't be substituted.
'Cause other girls mean nothing
Stating that others are meaningless compared to the person.
I'm still drowning without
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed and lost without the person.
Come pull me out
Requesting help or support to get out of emotional distress.
Every summer day
Recalling shared moments in the past.
We spent it in your room
Remembering spending time together.
Your dad would make me leave
Having to leave due to external reasons (like parental intervention).
I'd climb back through the roof
Showing determination to return despite obstacles.
You've got me overthinking things
Similar to line 10, feeling overwhelmed with thoughts.
These nights away can drive me crazy
Distance causing emotional distress (repeated).
I hate to see you look away

I made this mess myself . . .

(Come pull me out)
Reiteration of requesting help or support.
Woah, You've got me overthinking things
Similar to lines 10 and 24, feeling overwhelmed with thoughts (repeated).
These nights away can drive me crazy
Distance causing emotional distress (repeated).
I hate to see you look away . . .
Disliking the idea of the person turning away (repeated).
