Not Waving, But Drowning - High Contrast, Lung, Jessy Allen

Everybody loves me

When I’m not around

And I am so beautiful, when the lights goes down

Everything about me can be summed up

In a single letter

People stop and tell me

I’ll never get better

One day you will realise

That time is an ocean

I’m not waving I’m drowing

Caught up in a swirling motion

I do just the right thing, at exactly the wrong time

When I know there’s no hope, I’ll tell you everything will be fine

I truly believe that you and me were made for each other

So remind me to use that line on my next lover

I’ve perfected the art of dying without showing emotion

That’s not me waving, I’m drowning

Caught up in swirling motion
