lyric: this song is very similar at "Swim Ashore", album Brushfire 
Farytales, also the lyrics and the accords.
testo: questa canzone è molto simila a Swim Ashore, soltanto che cambiano 
alcuni accordi
       e alcune parole.

- intro,

- verse 1,

C#
Drink the water drink it down
This time I know I'm bound

G#                G F#
To spit it back up
I didn't want this

Salty substitute,
just not going to do
I need some air,
if I'm going to live through

This experience
reminds me of a clock
That just won't tick
I want to wake up

>From this concussion
But my dreams just not done
I'm late again,
It's just one of those bad days

Look outside and
Be careful what you ride
You just might find
That you're out of time

- chorus,

E   G#       C#
To swim ashore

     E          G#
If I drift long enough

        C#    (A) F#
I'll be home

- verse 2,

Drink the water drink it down ...

- chorus,

To swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I'll be home

- end.
