The faster we're falling,
We're stopping and stalling.
We're running in circles again
Just as things we're looking up
You said it wasn't good enough.
But still we're trying one more time.

Maybe we're just trying to hard.
When really it's closer than it is too far

[Chorus]
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.

Seems like each time
I'm with you I loose my mind,
Because I'm bending over backwards to relate.
It's one thing to complain
But when you're driving me insane
Well then I think it's time that we took a break.

Maybe we're just trying to hard.
When really it's closer than it is too far

[Chorus]

Instead of going under.

I can't sit back and wonder why.
It took so long for this to die.
And I hate it when you fake it.
You can't hide it you might as well embrace it.
So believe me it's not easy.
It seems that something's telling me,

[Chorus]

Instead of going under.

Instead of going under again.
Instead of going under.
Instead of going under again.
Instead of going under again.

    General Comment:This song, in my opinion, can be about heavy drug addiction and trying to recover from it, or a falling apart relationship

    General Comment:So i know this is an extremely late comment, but just to set the record straight.. they are pop-punk. Obviously they know they aren't punk, they are basically some punk aspects of music&song content with the pop abilitey to be appealing to a large crowd. soo.. it would be cool if people stop arguing about what is and isn't considered punk..

    NOW- Sum kicks ass! however i think this song blew up too quick and overshadowed some of the other good shit off this album (fat lip willl forever be the best)

    General Comment:wawawa. Who cares what genre it is, its the same genre as blink-182. They have their own genre that includes bands like yellowcard, sum 41, simple plan, etc. Right so this song is sorta interesting, their relationship is described as "in too deep", but the tone implies that they both want the relationship. I wonder what "going under" is? Is it totally losing your head over the other person? I think so, because of "again" it seems like he's done this a number of times before, and he wants to keep "up above in my head" as in, he wants to still think normally, and have control over himself.

    General Comment:Sum 41 rocks, but they are definately not punk. They're not pop-punk, they're not real punk, they're just great. Who cares what genre? And by the way, just because you like a popular band doesn't automatically make you a total f***face whose "ruining punk rock".

    If you want REAL punk, listen to Rise Against. Not their new stuff, their old stuff. THAT'S real punk.

    General Comment:i think this song is about a guy being in love with a girl. but shes driving him crazy, and he cant take it anymore, he loves her but he feels trapped in their relationship, so he wants to end it, and start over again. he doesnt want it to happen all over again, therefor he doesnt want to "go under again", and let the girl take control of his life.

    General Comment:Alright... look, I'm not going to sit here and read through all 4 pages of these posts. I did, however, read a few on the first page...

    Look... I'm no expert on punk, ok... but why the fuck do we have to label people or bands... I mean, goddamn... who cares what type of fucking music it is... if you like it, WHO THE FUCK CARES? I don't know what I am, and I really don't give a fucking shit... I don't know what bands are any more... and I REALLY don't give a fucking shit. If it sounds good, I listen to it. Cut the fucking bullshit already. Music is free to listen to, and anyone can if they like it. Look, I think the band members are hott sometimes, but that's not the reason I like them... but hey, if some girls do, wtfever... doesn't matter to me. "To each his own." right?

    This inspired me to actually get a fucking account lol...
