Down

He had a plan for a one-night stand
She had a plan for more
Now she’s eating less just to fit in a dress
While he’s counting those steps to the door
He’s thinking you hold me down

Down like a weight in a water deep
Down like your body going fast asleep
Down is the feeling that’s bothering me

They had a kid and they named him Ted
Teddy only lived to be four
The sickness it seems was a glitch in his jeans
Now they fight like they’re keeping score
She’s thinking you hold me down

Down like the tide when the ocean sighs
Down like the cadence of a long goodbye
Down is the feeling that’s following me

Once was a time when they all felt fine
And they counted they’re blessings more
But the weight that is felt from the cards that are dealt
Is the heavy of being unsure

Down like a weight in a water deep
Down like your body going fast asleep
Down is the feeling that’s swallowing me
