Drowning Lyrics – Chris Young
Drowning Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: Chris Young]
Still got your number in my phone
And even though you don't know I listen
I still call and wait 'til the tone
Just to hear you saying, "Leave a message"
Since you've been gone I've had to find
Different ways to grieve
There's days that I don't even want it on my mind
But tonight I'm weak
[Chorus: Chris Young]
So I'm gonna pull out pictures, ones with you in 'em
Laugh and cry a little while reminiscin'
By myself, I can't help
That all I think about is
How you were taken way too soon
It ain't the same here without you
I gotta say missing you comes in waves
And tonight I'm drowning
[Verse 2: Chris Young]
Yeah, I know you're in a better place
And one day I'll see you again
But it's killing me we can't be face to face
I miss my best friend, so tonight
[Chorus: Chris Young]
I'm gonna pull out pictures, ones with you in 'em
Laugh and cry a little while reminiscin'
By myself, I can't help
That all I think about is
How you were taken way too soon
It ain't the same here without you
I gotta say missing you comes in waves
And tonight I'm drowning
[Post-Chorus: Chris Young]
Yeah, tonight I'm drowning
[Bridge: Chris Young]
I know it's a part of life
But I wasn't ready to say goodbye
[Chorus: Chris Young]
So tonight I'm gonna pull out pictures, ones with you in 'em
Laugh and cry a little while reminiscin'
By myself, I can't help
That all I think about is
How you were taken way too soon
It ain't the same here without you
I gotta say missing you comes in waves
And tonight I'm drowning
[Outro: Chris Young]
Yeah, tonight I'm drowning
