Name: Drowning Into You
Duration: P00H07M06S
Description: This was written on acoustic guitar in Edinburgh, probably around 2009. I think I heard a spiritual teacher describe the process of dissolving into the Self as like a kind of drowning, like an ice cube melting in warm water, so that was the initial inspiration.

lyrics

You and I separated long ago
Lost in time barricaded by our thoughts
In demand in a strange and foreign land
So it seems there's no way to reach the end

I was so alone when you weren't there
Now I'm coming home I see you everywhere

I'm drowning into you
What else is there I can do?
I'm gone... so gone
And the past all falls away
Where the time just cannot stay
Hopes and fears dissolve in you
I'm drowning into you

If I stall would you guide me to your feet?
If I'm wrong would you bring me to my knees?
Oh this world sometimes it drives me to defeat
Made of steel would you melt me with your heat?

All this turbulence leaves me with no air
Makes no difference to you when I'm scared

I'm drowning into you
What else is there I can do?
I'm gone... so gone
And the past all falls away
Where the time just cannot stay
Hopes and fears dissolve in you
I'm drowning into you
It's true

Quietness so loud they cannot hear
Let the ones who runaway say what they say
It's just a dream in which you feel there's something there
Now I say: Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

I'm drowning into you
What else is there I can do?
I'm gone... so gone

I'm drowning into you
What else is there I can do?
I'm gone... so gone
And the past all falls away
Where the time just cannot stay
Hopes and fears dissolve in you
I'm drowning into you
It's true
It's true

Remind Me Tomorrow
by Sharon Van Etten

Well, I was introduced to the song Comeback Kid acoustically on a Tiny Desk concert and it really caught my attention. From there I went to the album version and also liked one or two others. David William
