We were drinking
Yeah we started drinking round two
And the air was so heavy
Yeah the air was heavy
With hopes it couldn't fulfil

This is as good as it gets
Hope is all we have left
The pilot plays, can't hear a sound
All my optimism's drowned

Yeah I'm drowned
I'm drowned
I'm drowned
I'm drowned and I don't know why

The cicadas
Yeah the cicadas are ringing in my ears
Awake from hibernation
And singing from frustration
About being locked up all year

This is as good as it gets
Hope is all we have left
The pilot plays, can't hear a sound
All my optimism's drowned

Yeah I'm drowned
I'm drowned
I'm drowned
I'm drowned and I don't know why

Like a chapter, a concluding chapter
That sinks you with its hooks
And you know this little city
looks like a city I read about in books

Now I'm drowned
Yeah I'm drowned (7x)
I'm drowned so fast
