Towing Me Down

from The Summit by From The Look Of Things

lyrics

All this time up the mountain,
I felt the quiet
And listened closely for the first time
There wasn’t much left to say
And that lack of words was enough
To help me set things right

The life rope that you gave to me was not enough
And no surprise I couldn't pull you up
You’re too much of an anchor
And when it snapped,
You stole a part of me I can’t ever get back

Besides this wall, I’ve done no wrong
If I went back, I would change nothing at all
You’ve become an anchor
You’ve been towing me down
And I for one am not okay with drowning

I don't believe in mistakes
But we all know that they’ll be made
-Like it’s the first time
You always have too much to say
Soon enough, the ground will give
And how that dirt’ll tumble down!

And I hope that you enjoy your fall
-Spend all that time with The Devil
Looking, I see only up now
Try not to watch you roll down

Besides this wall, I’ve done no wrong
If I went back, I would change nothing at all
You’ve become an anchor
You’ve been towing me down
And I for one am not okay with drowning

You loved me and led me to fall
Oh no, I just can't hold your weight no more!
Don’t think I will ever return
We’re through!
Here’s to goodbye!
I close my eyes, you sink away
Your voice escapes, and I hear you scream
That you’ll wait for me, but I don’t believe it
I’ll pray for you when I taste the summit’s freedom

Besides this wall, I’ve done no wrong
If I went back, I would change nothing at all
You’ve become an anchor
You’ve been towing me down
And I for one am not okay with drowning
No longer towing me down

I know a lot of people who "do not care" what others think. You should care. You just should not let their thoughts dictate the way you see yourself.
