the water

I fell asleep in the water
I couldn't speak 'till I saw ya
Taste just like regret, but
I don't know it yet

I had the range of a sawed-off
Playing my greatest hits for ya
Stack the cards, slide the hand, so
No more safe bets

Tell me, what's in it for ya?
For me to unload it all on ya?
Sidewalk full of trash
Inside still a mess

Skip sleep and walk
To the car that's been waiting out front
Next stop far ahead
My promised land

Did I try my best?
I didn't, I didn't I didn't know
Was it time to rest?
I couldn't I couldn't I couldn't go
I couldn't g-

I fell asleep in the water
But it wasn't enough till I saw ya
Pacing my steps like I'm walking towards death
Like the streetlights are flickering off ya

Mumble something to the man at the desk
Swim my way up with my heart on my breath
Knock out the rest
Been depressed
To say the least
I need a rest
Let's get undre-
("Wait, that's... not the best idea")

I fell asleep in the
But you woke me up up up up, up up up up up
Fill my memories with echoes of this
It's not a date it's just April twenty-fifth

So can I cry
Somewhere else
"Not like to you it needs to matter"
"But I think I finally see the pattern I"

Only ever start it once it's over
I think it's cause I'm safest on the run, yeah
And this time no I'm not sure where we're going
But maybe I know, oh I know, oh that your love
Will lead me, home

Always feel the distance once we're closer
So if I let you in, oh, won't you promise me you'll hold it
Break me down until I'm back to normal
Cause baby I know, oh I know, oh that your love'll
Leave me, whole

Cause baby I know, oh I know, oh that your love'll
Leave me, whole
