  • Believe the news, I'm gone for good
    Call off the search, no one will know that I'm down here
    Believe the note, I left for you
    You can't turn back the clocks

    You can't pull me up from here, so don't try
    I'm in a car underwater with time to kill
    Thinking back I forgot to tell you this:
    I didn't care that you left and abandoned me,
    What hurts more is I would still die for you
    I'm in a car underwater with time to kill
    Thinking back I forgot to tell you this:
    I didn't care that you left and abandoned me,
    What hurts more is I would still die for you

    Make time slower
    Give me longer
    It's too late for me
    No one will know that I'm down here
    Believe your dreams of me sinking
    So far below

    You can't pull me up from here, so don't try
    I'm in a car underwater with time to kill
    Thinking back I forgot to tell you this
    I didn't care that you left and abandoned me
    What hurts more is I would still die for you, I'm in a car underwater with time to kill
    Thinking back I forgot to tell you this
    I didn't care that you left and abandoned me
    What hurts more is I would still die for you

    Leave it up to me
    To burn in you again
    This one's not your fault
    Please forgive me

    Leave it up to me
    To burning you again
    This one's not your fault
    Please forgive me
    Leave it up to me
    To burning you again
    This one's not your fault
    So forget, so forget, so forget me

    And don't think back, don't think back on me at all
    Just let me go
    Don't think back, don't think back on me at all
    Just let me go
    Don't think back, don't think back on me at all
    (Let me go)
    Don't think back, don't think back on me at all
    (Let me go)
    Don't think back, don't think back on me at all

    You can't pull me up from here, so don't try
    I'm in a car underwater with time to kill
    Thinking back I forgot to tell you this
    I didn't care that you left and abandoned me
    What hurts more is I would still die for you
    I'm in a car underwater with time to kill
    Thinking back I forgot to tell you this
    I didn't care that you left and abandoned me
    What hurts more is I would still die for you

    I would still die for you
    I would still die for you
    And I would still die for you
    I would still die for you

    And I would still die for you Writer/s: Anthony Diionno, Ben Jorgensen, Nash Breen, Peter James Decicco

  • Alex from Usthe song as i interpret it is about a suicide,
    and hes still thinking about her and that he would die all over again for her even though they arent together and she doesnt feel the same. and since in the beginning it says he left a note, and maybe the song is like kinda what he wrote.
    idk but whatever
  • Matt from Goffstown, Nhno, the whole album is a story of death and the afterlife, although im not quite sure, but i think its all figurative. This song is exactly what it says. he gets dumped. he goes off a road into the water, drowns and dies, and hes just thinking about how he would still die for her even though she doesnt want him, and i think in the overall, figuratively, being left by someone you still love feels like drowning, you have all those thoughts of how you would still die for the person, but you're drowning in these thoughts and emotions. you know?
  • Alex from Rio Rancho, NmI thought it was about suicide.
    "I'm in a car underwater
    with time to KILL
    and thinking BACK
    I FORGOT to tell you this...
    What hurts more is that I would still DIE for you"

    It's about the irony that he still loves her although he went suicide and drove into water and drowned, but although he's dead, he'd still die for her.
  • Becca from Hell, Lai think its about loving this person that let you down and being mad but you have unconditional love for them so no matter what they do youll always be there
