Whoever Comes Up First

[Intro] come up for... [Verse 1] Deep end at the Y, chippin' paint on the twelve foot line You'd count us in, first one up loses, we'd sink to the tile (Ooh, ooh) Twenty years on, the deep end's the rent, and nobody calls it (Ooh, ooh) You say "fine," I say "fine" at the sink, and we're both still under the water [Pre Chorus] one... two... come up for [Chorus] (AIIIR) Hold it in my throat so you won't notice me choke (AIIIR) Throw a thumbs up like I'm copin', keep the panic unspoken, come up for (AIIIR) (Both of us) turnin' blue, come up for (AIIIR) [Verse 2] Down on the drain I keep count of your bubbles Each one you lose puts me out of trouble I read your shoulders, is that how you struggle? Maybe you're calm, or the sound's just muffled Replay how you said "fine" with a lift at the end of it I'm pickin' through the sentences for evidence in it Typed out "you good?", sat with the tension, deleted it 'Cause comin' up first means admittin' I needed it [Pre Chorus] one... two... come up for [Chorus] (AIIIR) Nervous, I rehearse it, ev'ry word for the surface (AIIIR) Worst part is the first one up's the person who's hurtin', come up for (AIIIR) (Both of us) turnin' blue, come up for (AIIIR) [Bridge] Down here it's green and slow Your hair lifts up like smoke And your voice comes through the water Like the TV through the floor I hear it (Two) fingers tap my wrist You were never winnin' Just waitin' on me too [Break] (one... two...) (one... two...) (one... two...) (One... two...) three. come up for [Final Chorus] (AIIIR) Show me that you're hurtin' and I'll show you I'm nervous (AIIIR) Ev'ry word that I've been holdin' in is finally spoken, come up for (AIIIR) (Both of us) turnin' blue, come up for (AIIIR) [Outro] Caaall it a tiiiie Caaall it a tiiiie Caaall it a tiiiie Caaall it a tiiiie Caaall it a tiiiie Caaall it a tiiiie Caaall it a tiiiie Caaall it a tiiiie
