Deadline (Swim, Baba)

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Woke up from a dream last night;
to remember, it took awhile...
Ghosted from my memories,
but my eyes remember you well...
guess that's why I cry
without a why, so often,
maybe why I tell myself that lie
so often.
I hate the tear drops, but
I love the rain...
I've come to love you through my pain
and I dont know how to do anything else...
See where you left me?
A fit of tears, confusion, and
ultimately I
I

(HOOK)
I feel pain...

I feel pain...

I feel pain...

I just want the rain

(Verse 2)
All my memories of you are overcast.
Can't remember a single sun on your skin.
You were dark and beautiful...
I still carry you with me, you know.
Even your resistance, scared of being known
to be forgotten.
Scared of being known, so
you forgot me...
... I'm scared of finding you everywhere else, and
Stuck on finding you before me.
Before the thing inside of you broke,
and took you from me before I could even know
that all the mistakes and the pain you made with me
was just you suffering from your own...

(Verse 3)
Remember all the fish we used to find
at the end of your line?
I wish you taught me how to reel 'em in,
(just one more time)
Born tryna hook you onto mine
but every time I tried
you didn't take the bite.

The lake is wide,
you're on the other side.

Wish you'd swim over to me
I'm running out of bait, you're running out of minutes. It
shouldn't be like this
Don't you think 'bout how I eat?
...don't you think 'bout how I feel?
(Don't you think 'bout how I feel...?)

(Hook 2)
Now I know your pain

Your hand-me-down pain

Worst thing bout this pain

Is my need for rain

(Ending Break)
I hate the teardrops
but I love the rain...
I hate to cry, but I
need the pain...
You left me in a fit of tears,
in a predicament I
can't escape...
