You Got Me Drowning

Sarah Rayan 1982 (Kuwait City)



I know a fire can't start in the sea
but you got me drowning so effortlessly

You got me drowning for your love
My heart is pounding for your love

Sea levels are rising mysteriously
as I wait for my last tears to set me free

You got me drowning for your love
My heart is pounding for your love

The waves keep getting higher
How did you start this fire

You got me drowning for your love
My heart is pounding for your love
