lyrics
I’m fixing to change with the same old tools
I’m speaking in tongues, I should be listening to you
I wish it was easier
Think I’m drowning
Afraid I’m down in
Saltwater here it comes here it comes
I’m under, I’d give a fortune just to know
How to float
Will you float with me?
That wasn’t yelling yesterday with your door closed
Like Morse code between the dashes and the dots
Translating all my thoughts
Navigating them
Saltwater, here it comes here it comes
I’m under
I’d give a fortune just to know
How to float
Will you float with me?
The best part is knowing that we are better than this
Better than this
Floating
I’m floating
With you
