Born In July (Undercurrents) Lyrics

I sent a hat for when you lose your hair

I hope it's still the kind you like to wear

Just heard the news from friends the other day

What would you say

If you could see the way that I still care

Undercurrents pull me down

Wrote a hundred notes, threw them all away

It's even worse to watch you drown

Knowing I'm the one who will be ok

When we were young, we'd lay out on your lawn

We'd talk for hours, and night would turn to dawn

We spoke of death as if we understood

And you never could

Convince me we go somewhere when we're gone

Undercurrents pull me down

Wrote a hundred notes, threw them all away

It's even worse to watch you drown

Knowing I'm the one who will be ok

Stay up all night and stare

My body just can't seem to cry

I'd let you turn me down each day

If it meant you would end up alright

We spoke this word before

Just because you were born in July

I thought we had infinite time

Undercurrents pull me down

Wrote a hundred notes, threw them all away

It's even worse to watch you drown

Knowing I'm the one who will be ok

Undercurrents pull me down

I could pack a bag, catch a plane today

'Cause it hurts to watch you drown

But after all this time, what is there to say?
