LYRICS [Explicit]: I’m hanging on the ocean floor I’m hiding underneath this storm, yeah And every time my heart beats It sends waves to the shore Can you feel me Or can you feel anymore Won’t you fill my Won’t you fill my lungs I’m taking a breath underwater I’m taking a breath underwater, water Just tell me what you want from me ‘Cause it really fucking hurts to breathe And baby I’m taking a breath underwater Water, yeah I’m taking a breath underwater, water Oh baby I’m taking a breath underwater, water Just tell me what you want from me ‘Cause it’s really fucking hard to see And baby I’m taking a breath underwater Water, yeah I’m dreaming of an open door Suspended underneath this storm, yeah But if I go through Will you take me to the same shore Where you left me ‘Cause I don’t wanna be here anymore So won’t you fill my lungs I’m taking a breath underwater, water I’m taking a breath underwater, water Just tell me what you want from me ‘Cause it really fucking hurts to breathe And baby I’m taking a breath underwater Water, yeah And baby I’m taking a breath underwater Water, yeah Won’t you fill my, won’t you fill my Just tell me what you want from me, yeah Oh won’t you fill my lungs

LYRICS: Driving through the city Till we’re lost Counting all the railroads That we cross You’re in your father’s sweatshirt It’s way too big Take a mental picture Don’t forget And you Were never mine to lose But I wish you well You know I do Been looking at the world through Shades of blue As overwhelming colors Pour from you On this avenue Look at all the mansions Aren’t they great Let’s laugh about the offers That we’d make We’re passing by the graveyard Hold your breath Are you disappointed By me yet And you Were never mine to lose But I wish you well You know I do Been looking at the world through Shades of blue As overwhelming colors Pour from you On this avenue

LYRICS: We can go pretty far If you wanted ‘Cause I know it’s not your thing To stay in one place, yeah I can be what you want I can be anything As long as I’m not myself I think I’ll be safe, yeah What am I looking for In this state between love and war Am I chasing a chemical That just leaves me wanting more And is there a difference Between truth and happiness If ignorance is bliss To the emotional masochist Yeah, we can go pretty far Yeah, we can go pretty far We can go pretty far If you wanted ‘Cause I know it’s not your thing To stay in one place, yeah I can be what you want I can be anything As long as I’m not in love I think I’ll be safe Yeah, we can go pretty far We can go pretty far Yeah, we can go pretty far We can go pretty far Yeah, we can go pretty far We can go pretty far Yeah, We can go pretty far We can go pretty far Yeah, we can go pretty far Yeah, we can go pretty far Yeah, we can go pretty far We can go pretty far Yeah, we can go pretty far We can go pretty far

LYRICS: So it goes again This is the end But do not fear For we’ll meet again my dear It’s the last day on earth I guess it could be worse Maybe next time around I’ll try again to make it work Because I never learn It’s the last day on earth You’re so pretty it hurts I will see you again Like a million times before But I’m bound to get burned It’s the last day on earth I guess it could be worse Maybe next time around I’ll try again to make it work Because I never learn It’s the last day on earth You’re so pretty it hurts I will see you again Like a million times before But I’m bound to get burned

LYRICS: Just another daydream Just another day Just another hopeful passing thought That crept into my brain In the dream there’s a stranger But I can’t place the name It all seems so familiar As I turn to you and say Hey, you’re a little late But I guess I can’t complain Yeah, it was worth the wait And I hope you feel the same ‘Cause these days I’m counting all the ways You fill the empty spaces In the corners of my brain And someday We’ll reflect upon today And with a smile we’ll say I’m not sure where I was without you But I’m never going back again Hey, you’re a little late But I guess I can’t complain Yeah, it was worth the wait And I hope you feel the same ‘Cause these days I’m counting all the ways You fill the empty spaces In the corners of my brain And someday We’ll reflect upon today And with a smile we’ll say Hey, you’re a little late But I guess I can’t complain You were worth the wait And I know you feel the same But these days As long as I’m awake I’m counting all the spaces in my brain I’m not sure where I am without you But I’m never coming back And I know I haven’t met you But I’m never coming back Here again
