Take me down to the river, take me down, drown me again
Take me down and deliver, yourself from all my sin
Take me down
Take me down

Take me down to the ocean, wash your hands as you pull me in
Deep into the emotion, waves crashing against my skin
And then you go, and then you stay
And then you tell me you  don't like it this way
Well I don't know, just where I stand,
You take me down and you drown me again
Take me down
Take me down

Sometimes you fly so high, I can't reach you
I'm left alone on the ground
I never meant to bring you down
I can't reach you, I can't reach you, I can't reach you

Take me down to your other places, show me all of your familiar  faces
Do you want me to bleed?  Your satisfaction's guaranteed
And then you go, and then you stay
And then you tell me you  don't like it this way
Well I don't know, just where I stand,
You take me down and you drown me again

Take me down (I can't reach you)
Take me down (I can't reach you)
Take me down (I can't reach you)
Take me down (I can't reach you)
Take me down (I can't reach you)
Take me down (I can't reach you)
