So you trying to do what they did
Your friends that turn to liquid
And got lost in the see
And now you're drowning me
With your talk of full eat clovers
You turn to rocks and no man
To be the ambient harm
But it's bruising your karma
Oh I wish my arms were wider
I wish that I could hide you
So you can rest and repair
Without the blanket of sorrow
The thick and the grey
Your blanket of wool
So heavy and stain
And it only weighs you down
So you thought that getting sober
Would mean your life was over
I don't think it's that bad
I don't think it's that sad
Just you sleep a little baby
Leave the world alone and later
If you wake up alive
That old blanket of sorrow
Could be feathers and down
Your blanket of wool
Would leave you alone
And I can love you till you drown
Come to me let's drown
Come baby let's drown
In feathers and down
Your friends that turn to liquid
And got lost in the see
And now you're drowning me
With your talk of full eat clovers
You turn to rocks and no man
To be the ambient harm
But it's bruising your karma
Oh I wish my arms were wider
I wish that I could hide you
So you can rest and repair
Without the blanket of sorrow
The thick and the grey
Your blanket of wool
So heavy and stain
And it only weighs you down
So you thought that getting sober
Would mean your life was over
I don't think it's that bad
I don't think it's that sad
Just you sleep a little baby
Leave the world alone and later
If you wake up alive
That old blanket of sorrow
Could be feathers and down
Your blanket of wool
Would leave you alone
And I can love you till you drown
Come to me let's drown
Come baby let's drown
In feathers and down

Your friends that turned to liquid
And got lost in the sea
And now you’re drowning me
With your talk of four-leaf clovers
You turn to rocks and omen
To beat the ambient harm
But it’s bruising your karma
Oh, I wish my arms were wider
I wish that I could hide you
So you can rest and repair
Without the blanket of sorrow
The thick and the grey
Your blanket of woe
So heavy and stained
And it only weighs you down, oh
So you thought that getting sober
Would mean your life was over
I don’t think it’s that bad
I don’t think it’s that sad
Just you sleep a little baby
Leave the world alone and later
If you wake up alive
That old blanket of sorrow
Could be feathers and down
Your blanket of woe
Would leave you alone
And I can love you 'til you drown
Come to me let’s drown, oh
Come baby let’s drown
In feathers and down
your friends that turned to liquid
and got lost in a sea
now you're drowning me
I think something bad happend to the singer's man, something that also affected his friends, and that his trying to drown his sorrow in alcohol, because that what he thinks pepole do. The singer feel helpless and his saddnes is starting to affect her, too.
with your talk of 4-leaf clovers

I think he believes that luck is what going to save him from himself, that he don't realize that his the only one who can do that. He's looking for God help and forgets that he needs to way he deals with his pain.
oh I wish my arms were wider
I wish that I could hide you
so you could rest and repair
without the blanket of sorrow
the thick and the grey
your blanket of woe
is so heavy and stained
She don't know what to do - she knows that hiding him, that sheltering him, will only harm him, but she can't help it but wanting to do so.
and it only weighs you down
so you thought that getting sober
would mean your life was over
I don't think it's that bad
I don't think it's that sad
It sound to me as if she's starting to get angry - She's tired of waiting for him and of his drama.
just you sleep a little, baby
leave the world alone and later
if you wake up alive
that old blanket of sorrow
could be feathers and down
your blanket of woe
would leave you alone
and I could love you 'til you drown...
come to me, let's drown
But still, she loves him and care about him, and she can't let him go, despite his actions. She can't live without him, so she's letting him drag her down with him, though she knows it's the bad desicon.
with your talk of 4-leaf clovers
you turn to rocks and omen
to beat the ambient harm
that is bruising your karma
It means that the guy is talking too much about luck and good fortune, he is turning to charms and good luck objects to fix his bad karma and everything that does him harm.
The idea is that he is blaming other things for his own mistakes, and this is drowning her, making her hopeless because he doesn't' see that its his doing that is making bad things happen to him
