Easier With 2

.I'm drowning
You looked down on me
You just pretended you didn't see me
Laughed and turned away
Ran to a friend
And let me drown
You laughed at me
Because I couldn't swim

.You didn't know I was drowning
You thought I was on your boat
You sailed around talking to me
I just talked back
I pretended not to drown
I don't want you to worry
Finally I found a sailboat
Can everyone work those?
I sailed but I failed
I tipped and turned but I sailed for you
The mast was hard to handle
Did I mention it's easier with 2?
The boat tipped over
I fell out and I couldn't swim
I cried but no one heard me
The seaweed grabbed me
Pulled me farther and farther
Should I just accept it?
Should I encourage it?
Will this seaweed forever hold onto to me and keep me down?
My oxygen level is starting to die
I'm trying to cut the ties
Tomorrow I see you
Maybe that means I'll sail again...
