It started off like any other day
With only an astronomical chance
But in the minute I turned away
It conspired with a once in a lifetime circumstance
I warned you off so many times
You and your bigger brother
You were
only out of sight for a moment
Thoughts of you keep turning over
Of children copying what they'd
seen
I play it all back in slow motion
You took friendship, love and
trust down under with you
Where is the panic in your eyes?
Come on show me something
Should I
breath or scream or should I hit you?
'Cause somehow this has to be undone
When it was happening
Did you understand how bad it was
Were you
afraid I wouldn't come
Did you wonder where I was
Thoughts of you keep turning over
I was always worried about you drowning
I play it all back in slow motion
You took friendship, love and trust down under with
you
Since then our lives have cursed us
The guilt is eating me alive
Statistics mock your mother and me
Hard as we try
