I hear the door slam shut, so I know that you're home
   You've been out all night, I've been here alone
   And I've been wondering if you're the same person I knew
   The bright lights that shine in your eyes, they make me blind
   I hear a footstep on the stairs so I know that you're near
   You've returned from pursuing your nocturnal career
   And I don't ask where you've been, with who, or if they're your friend
   'Cause I don't really want to know right now, I don't know when I will
   again
  
   CHORUS
   Going under, drifting down, going under
   And I know you've still got a ways to go down before
   We can rise back up into the light
   We're going under, drifting down...
   I hear you coughing in the hall so I know you're all right
   It will be morning soon, through the gloom I see daylight
   But in this room right now I am alone, I am unsure
   I don't know what you feel anymore and it scares me so
  
   CHORUS
