know you've noticed 'cause i've been feelin' it too this growin' distance makes it hard to stay true i've been tryin' to keep a hold of my heart while you've been runnin' straight into the dark i can't follow you down i'm gettin' out of this sinking town i can't follow you down nobody noticed that the water is high in the crowded alleys there's just flickerin' light it's no secret, that we're all scared to drown but you are never too lost to be found this city's smoke gives me a choking fear you've got a hold of my hand but i can't stay here
