Lyrics
[intro] [verse] i hold two versions they sit like rival surgeons one cuts clean before the bleeding starts, one lets the room go dark i measure the cost of what stays and what gets lost returned to the same answer, found it double-crossed [chorus] drowner knows, swimmer keeps quiet ran both versions, neither came out right i don't know which one showed up today pull me under or let me go i don't know (i...) [post-chorus] (i don't know) (i don't know) [verse] the water remembers what sank in last november i told a small lie to the deep end, and the deep end said nothing back i ran the old play bought another borrowed day sooner or later my mouth opens and it all gives way [chorus] drowner knows, swimmer keeps quiet ran both versions, neither came out right i don't know which one showed up today pull me under or let me go i don't know (i...) [instrumental-break] [bridge] paid for the lie before i told it paid for the truth i never found either way i was already underwater just didn't notice till i stopped coming up [build up] (drowner knows) [chorus] drowner knows, swimmer keeps quiet ran both versions, neither came out right i don't know which one showed up today pull me under or let me go i don't know (i...) [outro] (i don't know) (i don't know) (i don't know) (i don't know)
