I have this sinking feeling
Something's weighing me down
I am completely saturated
The waves are crashing closer
My feet already drowned
Doing the thing I said I hated

They've been swimming in the wrong water
Now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'cause I know that you'll lift me out

[Chorus]
Have your way here
Keep me afloat 'cause I know I'll sink without you
Take this ocean of pain that is mine
Throw me a lifeline

Wake up feeling convicted
I know something's not right
Re-acquaint my knees with the carpet
I have to get this out
'cause it's obstructing you and I
Dry up the seas that keep us parted

'cause they've been swimming in the wrong waters
And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'cause I know that you are gonna pull me out

[Chorus]

They've been swimming in the wrong waters
And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'cause I know, 'cause I know

[Chorus]
