[Intro – distant rolling wave sounds, muted clean guitar]
Salt sticks to my collar bone
I already know I won't go home
[Verse 1 – soft arpeggiated guitar, quiet sub bass]
You don't have to be gentle now
I came here on my own two feet
I walked right past the warning signs
I came here just to sink
[Pre-Chorus – rising pad, faint drum pulse]
Every tide that pulls me out
Is exactly what I came about
[Chorus – full warm reverb, soft brushed drums]
Drown me in your undertow
Pull me down where the light don't go
Wrap the dark around my skin
I don't ever want to swim again
[Interlude – floating guitar delay, distant thunder]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 2 – slightly heavier bass, quiet rim clicks]
They all scream to hold the shore
They don't know the quiet down below
No one yells, no one lies down there
Just the silence and the slow
[Pre-Chorus – building vocal harmony, rising volume]
Let the surface fade away
I don't need another day
[Chorus – layered vocals, full gentle rhythm]
Drown me in your undertow
Carry me where the cold winds blow
Let the world forget my name
I was always meant to stay
[Bridge – stripped back, only clean guitar]
I won't fight, I won't call for air
I won't reach for the shore up there
This is not a fall, this is home
This is where I've always belonged
[Final Chorus – full lush arrangement, soft vocal layers]
Drown me in your undertow
Hold me close don't let me go
All the noise just fades away
Finally I can stay
[Outro – fading guitar, receding wave sound]
Just let the water close
Drown me slow
