"Drowning Into You" was written on guitar in early 2009, in Edinburgh. The music and lyrics on this version are unchanged from that time. Like "Mysterious", "Voice" and "Why Do You Run", the song was put aside until we reached Milan in July 2011 and began work on what would come to be known as the 'Sketches of Europa' sessions.
This particular track was added later, whilst in Barcelona, Sep 2011. The piano was recorded in our apartment there. The next track to be overdubbed was the drums, which I put together in Berlin, Feb 2012, in our apartment in Friedrichshain. We always intended to finish the song, with melodica and Kate's harmonies, but never got round to it.
Eventually, early in 2015 and now back in Edinburgh, I added some acoustic guitar and the lead vocal. Later in the summer I added harmonies and a guitar solo. Finally, the song was mixed over a weekend in early Sep 2015. A long journey for this one!
You and I separated long ago
Lost in time barricaded by our thoughts
In demand in a strange and foreign land
So it seems there's no way to reach the end
I was so alone when you weren't there
Now I'm coming home I see you everywhere
I'm drowning into you
What else is there I can do?
I'm gone... so gone
And the past all falls away
Where the time just cannot stay
Hopes and fears dissolve in you
I'm drowning into you
It's true
If I stall would you guide me to your feet?
If I'm wrong would you bring me to my knees?
Oh this world sometimes it drives me to defeat
Made of steel would you melt me with your heat?
All this turbulence leaves me with no air
Makes no difference to you when I'm scared
I'm drowning into you
What else is there I can do?
I'm gone... so gone
And the past all falls away
Where the time just cannot stay
Hopes and fears dissolve in you
I'm drowning into you
It's true
Quietness so loud they cannot hear
Let the ones who runaway say what they say
It's just a dream in which you feel there's something there
Now I say:
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I'm drowning into you
What else is there I can do?
I'm gone... so gone
I'm drowning into you
What else is there I can do?
I'm gone... so gone
And the past all falls away
Where the time just cannot stay
Hopes and fears dissolve in you
I'm drowning into you
It's true
It's true
