Drown

LyricsInformation
No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you drown
You traveled very far
Just to see if I'll come around
When I'm down
All of those yesterdays
Coming down

No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you dream
You traveled very far
You traveled far, like a star
And you are
All of those yesterdays
Coming down

Is it something someone said?
Was it something someone said?

Yesterday the sky was you
And I still feel the same
Nothing left for me to do
Yet I still feel the same

I wish, I wish I could fly
I wish, I wish I could lie
I will, I will try
I will you, goodbye

Billy Corgan: (Impact Magazine 1993)

    "Here's the story behind that song, OK? We wanted it to be a single, we were pushing for it. I was even willing to make a video. Radio stations were playing it. And when it came time for the third single [from "Singles"], they said, 'Screaming Trees'. And I was like, 'Screaming Trees??'. But what label is Alice In Chains on and what label are the Screaming Trees on? Epic, which is the label that put out the soundtrack. And that's what killed the song. But the funny thing is, when we play that song now, the reaction is like it was a hit song. Eight minutes - you get a lot for your quarter."
