falling in

i'm falling in
i try to swim
but wading can't keep
my head above water

breathing shallow
in deep water
i saw you approaching
you took my breath away

i slip under then
i rise up again
i see you reaching
i stretch out my arm

you take my hand
you lean far back
my hand starts to slip
and i pull you in

we're helpless and drowning
there's no one to help us
no one else is around

we look to each other
your eyes lock with mine
you smile sheepishly
i return feebly

you hold onto my hand
and we drown helpless together
like my brother
