lyrics

if you find my body by the river
in the muddy banks of the river
push my body out into the water
float a little while in the water

i'll sleep alone tonight. if that makes you feel better
if you fall asleep without hearing from me just know that i'll be
around in case you drown tonight in the river
and i just want the best for you. that'll be the best for me too
i've been driving out to sea too long.
i've seen the light. it makes me feel better
about sleeping in.

i'm not afraid of the voices in my head
even if they don't go away
i won't let them keep you awake
sleep. sleep. darling, sleep
and in the morning all the bad things will go away

and if i don't make it out
at least i'm still
surrounded
all by myself
I'm all alone.
and i'm drifting out to sea
