I WON’T LET YOU SINK

by Nick Jaina

Oh my darling
float in the center of my arms
I won’t let you sink
I won’t let you sink
just believe you can
believe that you’re lighter than the water
I won’t let you sink
I won’t let you sink
they have heads on their walls
they probably shot them all
they wouldn’t understand

there’s a thread
pulling on the center of your heart
I won’t let you sink
I won’t let you sink
can you tell you’re no longer in my arms
I won’t let you sink
I won’t let you sink
they have newspapers on the floor
they’re not listening anymore
they wouldn’t understand
