Lyrics

Dragging Me Down

Oh, so ya don’t think I’m strong
& you’re the girl from that Spin Doctors song
Best think twice about with whom you’re messing
Gimme 3 strides & I’m a-stepping
I ain’t special & maybe you are
or I’ve flown too high & much too far
it’s a rough dream that I can’t wake from
Can ya smell the powder from under the gun?

Like an anchor around my neck pulling me under
the tide is strong & I can’t help but wonder
If I’ll ever make it out of here alive
Or if I even want to survive this time
Now you’re trying to keep me here
Now all those threats seem to disappear
I drown when you’re around
Life’s better without you dragging me down

Oh, so you never thought I’d be the one to leave?
And you’d be the one alone in these sheets?
I’ll concede that I’ve been lucky
but so are you so crack your books & study

Like an anchor around my neck pulling me under
the tide is strong & I can’t help but wonder
If I’ll ever make it out of here alive
Or if I even want to survive this time
Now you’re trying to keep me here
Now all those threats seem to disappear
I drown when you’re around
Life’s better without you dragging me down

There’s no undoing this coup
Life is better without you
There’s no undoing this coup
Life is better without you

Like an anchor around my neck pulling me under
the tide is strong & I can’t help but wonder
If I’ll ever make it out of here alive
Or if I even want to survive this time
Now you’re trying to keep me here
Now all those threats seem to disappear
I drown when you’re around
It’s better without you dragging me down
