[Intro] Two waves, same cold pull Two breaths, lungs half-full I’m tracing lines and sinking [Verse 1] I left a warning on your window frame Salt on the glass there Hoped the water might spell something out But it rolled back, staying empty air Everybody said that I should hold on tight Just ride it out, keep breathing Every time I tried to name this drag I was talking to the ceiling [Pre-Chorus] The softer the shoreline called The further out I was swept [Chorus] I’m sinking beneath this unnameable tide Same old shore, but it don’t feel right Heavy breathing, fingers slack in the deep I’m sinking beneath this unnameable tide I said I’m fine, but that was a lie Can’t touch the pull that’s under us Still I’m the one out slipping [Verse 2] You laughed too hard at some familiar joke I watched the room fade Every word I tried to drag through my teeth Fell away before it stayed Your friends all asked me if I’m staying afloat Like they’d been taught every sentence Every answer tasted ocean-thin Every grin felt like a distance [Pre-Chorus] The more I tried to stand my ground The more the floor turned to drag [Chorus] I’m sinking beneath this unnameable tide Same old shore, but it don’t feel right Heavy breathing, fingers slack in the deep I’m sinking beneath this unnameable tide I said I’m fine, but that was a lie Can’t touch the pull that’s under us Still I’m the one out slipping [Bridge] Somewhere between your front steps And the end of breaking waves I misplaced the line of where it floods And how to live inside the change Don’t know if this is fear of air Or just fear of what I’ve seen Don’t know if I’m the dragging weight Or there is something in between [Final Chorus] I’m sinking beneath this unnameable tide All our questions drown in the blue Holding on to the dark like it’s truth I stop pretending I’ll break through I’m sinking beneath this unnameable tide If this is drowning, let it be Can’t find the pull in you or me Still I’m the one out slipping [Outro] Two waves, same cold pull Two breaths, lungs half-full Still I’m the one out slipping Heavy breathing in the dark Still I’m the one out slipping Still I’m the one dragged down
