Above the Water

[Verse 1] Keeping my head above water Swimmin' gets harder and harder Measuring breaths in the dark Counting the waves when they start We made a sea out of us Salt in my mouth, gold turned to rust I reach for you, you fade away Still I keep treading the same [Pre-Chorus] And I feel it pull me down Every time you come around I’m still here, I’m still here Gasping through the atmosphere [Chorus] Above the water Above the water I’m trying, I’m trying Don’t let me go under Above the water Above the water We made this ocean Now I’m fighting for my breath [Verse 2] Measuring breaths while I drift Through what we built in the riptide shift Your touch was fire, then it became A tide that learned to spell my name I taste the storm when you speak Sweet on the tongue, sharp underneath I want the shore, I want the sky But your waves keep passing by [Pre-Chorus] And I feel it pull me down Every time you come around I’m still here, I’m still here Gasping through the atmosphere [Chorus] Above the water Above the water I’m trying, I’m trying Don’t let me go under Above the water Above the water We made this ocean Now I’m fighting for my breath [Bridge] If I sink, will you look back? Will you call my name through the black? Or let me learn how to float With a cracked heart, but still afloat [Final Chorus] Above the water Above the water I’m trying, I’m trying Don’t let me go under Above the water Above the water We made this ocean Now I’m fighting for my breath
