drowning in the lake
i only left her for a couple o' seconds
and now she's gone
waking up
for what?
as I pace back and forth
maybe its time to move away
but what would that prove anyway?
listening to the answer machine
over and over
only to hear your voice one more time
just one more time
its not your fault
thats what they all keep saying
blaming myself
there's nothing left
why do I bother praying?
beg me for direction
like I have all the answers
i neglected her life
so now what
what do I do with mine?
listening to the answer machine
over and over
only to hear your voice one more time
just one more time
its not your fault
thats what they all keep saying
blaming myself
there's nothing left
why do I bother praying?
drowning in the lake
i only left her for a couple o' seconds
drowning in the lake
i only left her for a couple o' seconds
drowning drowning
i only left her for a couple o' seconds
and now she's gone
waking up
for what?
as I pace back and forth
maybe its time to move away
but what would that prove anyway?
listening to the answer machine
over and over
only to hear your voice one more time
just one more time
its not your fault
thats what they all keep saying
blaming myself
there's nothing left
why do I bother praying?
beg me for direction
like I have all the answers
i neglected her life
so now what
what do I do with mine?

drowning in the lake
i only left her for a couple o' seconds
drowning in the lake
i only left her for a couple o' seconds
drowning drowning

Why do people care about Jonny so much? They've the same vocals! I can't hear any difference!
and wereachthesound, where'd you get that quote? i'm not denying you, but still, if you're right then that could mean the whole message machine thing is that mom and daughter recorded a message machine thing together.
but it seems more logical to me that they got the inspiration for this song from that...i mean, dgd's lyrics aren't specific to one thing, now are they? they always have two sides to each song, like a story...lol, dgd is an awesome storyteller...
"It's not your fault"
That's what they all keep saying.
Blaming my sight,
There's nothing left.
Why do I bother praying?
I dunno. I've been listening to it a lot, and it doesn't sound like "myself".
Like I have all the answers.
I neglected her life,
So now what,
What do I do with mine?
in other parts of the song, he/she is comtemplating on moving to another city, or somewhere, but doesn't understand what that would prove, the pain would stay with them inside, and they are looking for direction, and he/she realizes that their loved always looked to them for directions, like they knew all the answers...
i think the title means they're looking for happiness when their world is lost.
wow i haven't heard the whole album, i've heard about four songs, but this seems like a really depressing album, lol. considering the whole happiness title. self blame, treachery, hypocrisy, wow, lol.
smoke a blunt,come back to this page and try again douche.
'tis about a mother, idiot. & thanks scubasteeze.
