Lyrics

Swimmin' out past the sand bar
doin' the dead man's float
trying to whistle underwater
don't you know
And the first time I met you
you punched me in the face
but I liked it a lot
and we went back to my place

I feel like I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
Goin' down for the last time
for the last time

Spilling all of your secrets
spreading out like a song
ain't nothing getting in my way
but somehow something's wrong
oooh

I feel like I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
Goin' down for the last time
for the last time
for the last time
for the last time
for the last time
for the last time
for the last time
