Story Behind The Song

No longer willing to be walked all over at the convenience of someone else, even though you want to be there for them

Lyrics

You can throw me down, yeah
But that doesn't mean I'll always be around
Someday if you reach out for me, and
I lose my grip, then what will you do?

I may be your anchor, the one that you
Hold onto, the one that you control, but
Remember, I can take you down, down with
Me if you make me drown in the ocean
Waters below

I'm your drug of convenience, you take a hit
When you need a dose, but sometimes the high
It goes away, so you toss me aside and save
Me for a rainy day

I may be your anchor, the one that you
Hold onto, the one that you control, but
Remember, I can take you down, down with
Me if you make me drown in the ocean
Waters below

You can keep me around, but I, I keep sinking
Further down, and not just into oblivion, but
Into your memory

I may be your anchor, the one that you
Hold onto, the one that you control, but
Remember, I'm also the one who can pull
You down, weigh you down, until you bring
Me back again

I may be your anchor, but I'm not your boat
So think before you throw me into the ocean
The ocean, the ocean below
