Anchor Me

from Small Kindness by Englewood

/

lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I'm sinking low,
The sun somewhere above, but I'm far below,
How deep can I sink -- I'm afraid -- I don't want to know.

Sometimes I just want to sit around,
Keeping it dark, wearing my thorny crown.
Sometimes I just want to lie down on cold ground.

But I need you to know
I don't know what I need
Except someone to reach for
or to reach out to me.
So please grab my hand and anchor me,
the way you do when we float out on the sea.
Anchor me.

And in a desperate attempt to stay afloat
I thrash around while the sea pours down my throat.
I know an innocent bystander can
get hit by a metaphorical thrashing hand.

But I need you to know
I don't know what I need
Except someone to reach for
or to reach out to me.
So please grab my hand and anchor me,
the way you do when we float out on the sea.

And when I catch my breath,
if I even can tell,
I'll be full of remorse and
sorry as hell,
And weighted with guilt start to
sink back beneath the waves
into my shell.

But I need you to know
I don't know what I need
Except someone to reach for
or to reach out to me.
So please grab my hand and anchor me,
the way you do when we float out on the sea.

I need you to know
I don't know what I need
Except someone to reach for
or to reach out to me.
So please grab my hand and anchor me,
the way you do when we float out on the sea.
Anchor me.
