[Verse 1 — liquid synth, pulsing bass] I change the water, measure out the light Keep every little current running right You only notice one green cloud Not the thousand times I cleared it out [Pre-Chorus — close harmonies] My garden dries beyond the glass I watch my own seasons pass [Chorus — elastic melody] I'm keeping oceans in a room So nothing fragile meets its doom You ask for blue, then ask for more And see one stain upon the floor I want to shatter all this blue But little lives are swimming through (Swimming through, swimming through) [Verse 2 — broken-beat] I wake to pumps; I sleep to drains My own small world goes dry again [Bridge — quiet, exposed voice] A broken tank would wash us clean And drown the things that trust in me [Outro — layered refrain] So I hold the glass and lose the sea Who keeps a little water left for me?
