I was in the firing line Living in my head Sun came in, I closed the blinds Could feel it in the air This is just a waste of time No one really cares But then you came across my mind Got me out of there So I went down to the river Swam 'til the panic was over Yes, I went down to the river And washed all the heavy away I washed all the heavy away ♪ Washed all the heavy away ♪ Feeling all the noise in here It's become an ache Pull me in to commandeer And take me out to the waves 'Cause I feel like a waste of space, breathing in the air But you hold me like I might just break Like you want me there So I went down to the river Swam 'til the panic was over Yes, I went down to the river And washed all the heavy away I washed all the heavy away ♪ Washed all the heavy away ♪ Washed all the heavy away Washed all the heavy away Washed all the heavy away
