[Verse 1] You think you’re drowning in the deep end Head under, reaching for the surface Every breath feels like a losing fight Water rising faster than you like You’re kicking hard against the current Tryna escape what you’re feeling But the tide won’t turn ’til you’re ready to give in It pulls you back to what you’re hiding from [Pre-Chorus] What if letting go’s the only way through What if the waves are carrying you [Chorus] You think you’re drowning but you’re floating Caught in the unknown, but you keep going Stop tryna fight every motion Surrender to the open ocean You don’t have to hold it all together You don’t have to fight forever When you loosen your grip you’ll find You were never sinking this whole time [Verse 2] This lesson we call life ain’t gentle It writes in scars, it’s never simple You’re holding your breath ’til your face turns blue But the water’s just trying to move through you No love without a little loss No clean without a little cost No joy without the edge of pain No sun without a little rain [Pre-Chorus] Every high is shaped by the low Every yes comes after no [Chorus] You think you’re drowning but you’re floating Caught in the unknown, but you keep going Stop tryna fight every motion Surrender to the open ocean You don’t have to hold it all together You don’t have to fight forever When you loosen your grip you’ll find You were never sinking this whole time [Bridge] Find the beauty in the breaking In the bending, in the shaking Every crack lets in the light Even wrong can turn you right Stop trying to stand where you’re meant to swim You’re fighting the pull when you need to give in There’s a current running through you You don’t have to understand Just release the weight in your heavy hands [Chorus] You thought you were drowning, now you’re floating Letting go and finally knowing There was never something broken Just a heart that needed opening You don’t have to hold it all together You don’t have to fight forever When you loosen your grip you’ll find You were water all this time
