I was always afraid of losing my way in dark, dark water Left in the wake, just another mistake of a wayward daughter She pulled me out of the river And threw me into the sea She pulled me out of the river And into the deep Honey honey, can you help me to breathe? Give me just a little relief I'm holding on by the skin of my teeth In this endless sea She was barely afloat on a sinking boat in the dead of the night Was I trusting the tide or just losing my mind? She pulled me out of the river And threw me into the sea She pulled me out of the river And into the deep, into the sea Honey honey, can you help me to breathe? Give me just a little relief I'm holding on by the skin of my teeth In this endless sea In this sea of dark, dark water She's pulling me under She's pulling me down But I'm treading water No I'm not gonna' drown (throw me a line) She's pulling me under (throw me a line) She's pulling me down (throw me a line) But I'm treading water (throw me a line) No I'm not gonna' drown (throw me a line) She pulled me out of the river (throw me a line) And threw me into the sea (throw me a line) She pulled me out of the river (throw me a line) And threw me into the sea
