lyrics

It's 6am and I'm freezing
Left the window up again
You always used to keep the heat in
But you're not in my bed

The sun comes up as I'm leaving
Still cold from all the things we said
I wish those words we were screaming
Had remained unsaid

This is a Mayday
I'm drowning in the waves
This is a Mayday
Before you slip away

The evening comes and I'm sinking
Disappearing once again
I see the rescue boats nearing
but they're all in my head

This is a Mayday
I'm drowning in the waves
This is a Mayday
Before you slip away

When you can't make it alone
It's ok, you can say so
And when the hull breaks
There'll still be time to slip away

How can the world have no colour
When nothing in it's black and white
Please pull me out of the water
And bring me back to life

This is a Mayday
I'm drowning in the waves
this is a Mayday
Before you slip away

This is a Mayday x 5...
