Rest my head against the wall

Waiting for a call that never came

'cause time moves so slowly when you're still holding onto blame.

I tried but can't forget the day

You were reaching for my hand as I touched your face

When your secrets were still safe from me

Till your eyes gave you away.

'cause we are drowning

Above the water

In a movie drained of colour

Luckless lovers

With a past that's just a string of small disasters

I'd give it all just to feel something real.

And now I see the warning signs

With the benefit of hindsight I was blind

To the way you'd make me feel so crazy

Just to protect your lies.

And all I wanted was the truth

The better part of you that I still see

'cause love is all we have to give

But you took my best for free.

'cause we are drowning

Above the water

In a movie drained of colour

Luckless lovers

With a past that's just a string of small disasters

I'd give it all just to feel something real.

And the one thing that really hurts is

We were so close to being perfect

And I know you'll be okay

And that's what kills me, yeah...

'cause we are drowning

Above the water

In a movie drained of colour

Luckless lovers

With a past that's just a string of small disasters.

'cause we are drowning

Above the water

In a movie drained of colour

Luckless lovers

With a past that's just a string of small disasters

I'd give it all just to feel something real

(Something real)

Oh, I'd give it all just to feel something real.
