Lyrics
[Vocalization]
[Hook]
You don't wanna let me down, 'cause you don't really feel like drowning
And you can't make a sound, when you're underwater, drowning
Maybe we should warn you now, there's a clock in the kitchen that's countin'
We won't let you make a sound, 'cause we don't really feel like drowning
