Story behind the song
I wrote this song at an emotionally 'numb' point in my life. Actually, writing it kind of brought me out of that state. I was having a hard time getting songs out, because up to that point, I had only written about my own personal experiences and relationships. It seemed like there wasn't really anything going on outside of my career life. I decided to try something new and draw from friends' relationships. As I watched a close friend struggle with a fresh break-up, the lyrics and melody began to flow...
Lyrics
I hear the phone ring I’m lying awake, but I Wait for the message Even though I know I won’t hear your voice anymore What’s this emptiness surrounding me Is it too soon to tell I’d rather be anywhere with you Than trapped in my mind Here in this hell I’m drowning It’s a hopeless equation You and me, me and you Divided by another Or am I just crazy To think we should have what we wish for Well, I heard from someone Who heard from another That she’s got you so weak You can barely stand And I know it’s only hearsay But please hear me when I say I think we deserve another chance Chorus: I’m drowning I’m down again Why is it any fool could see I gave you the best part of me And now I’m drowning I’m down again Why is it any fool could see You need me And I need you Let’s get ourselves together, here We can have what we wish for If both believe we can find it I am here with open arms And I’m trying to get through to you Just leave the past behind Chorus Music/Lyrics – Alexis Antes Copyright 1999/BMI
