In the Water

i'd like to see you one time without a voice on the other side
i'd like to cool my own mind but it's got me following the tide
suddenly i'm over in another dream across the room
i'm amazed to find you standing there oh you never seem to come too soon
got me in the water now i'm in up to my eyes
everybody always talking about the low between the highest tides
all i find's a waste of time when i go
all the time it takes till i can be on my way back home
so hold me now and show me and i'll never float away again
i find a deeper ground below me when i thought that i was at the end
and even when i'm drifting got to fight to keep the waves away
yeah it's hard to see the shore sometimes i barely even have a say
got me in the water now i drop in on your wave
terrifying it's so easy to count up all that you've got left to save
all i find's a waste of time when i go
all the time it takes till i can be on my way back home
looks like the perfect time to get old
feels like the perfect time to be bought and bought and sold
i'll get away just one more time and then i'll follow wherever you go
i'm in the water baby
i'm in the water baby
i'm in the water again

i don't mind that i'm taking all my time
looking for a state of mind that i'm never gonna find
feed my soul it's better than the bullshit
i've got expensive taste and
i've got some time to waste and
before they take my place
i'm gonna have a little something to say
guess they raised the stakes
is that what it takes
to feel alright
to have a good life
to feel cool
now bring it back around again
justify the time you spend
oh my eyes been telling me one thing
but the sky it tells me something else
i don't mind that i'm taking all my time
looking for a state of mind that i'm never gonna find
feed my soul it's better than the bullshit
free my soul it's better than the bullshit
free my soul it's better than the bullshit
free my soul it's better than the bullshit
no time to waste
guess they raised the stakes
do you have what it takes
to sleep all night
you'll be a lookalike
for somebody cool
it's coming back around again
say goodbye to all your friends
when the world stops making you desperate
i guess you'll probably drop dead from the respite

Until

thoughts like a river flow
i can't ignore away
doubts from another life
hang on every word you say
noise of a quiet night
stranger in the light of day
arrive in an open room
already on the floor
you used to think that everything was coming out of nothing but you don't believe it anymore
i'm keeping both eyes open now i sleep all the time
until i let myself fall down and crawl to the end
close how it seems to be
tiptoeing on the edge
more than you've ever been
hiding out inside your head
down digging deeper still
running out of room to grow
you made the fatal mistake of thinking every other devil must be better than the one you know
no reason to be excited about the ways of the wind
until there's nothing left for you to scratch out a life
i'll leave my final plans for the impending end
until my head comes back and finally drags me away
I spend a decade racing for an empty return
until i watch my heart stumble out and take me to the sky
a million second chances won't convince me to stay
until i let my eyes come down and rip my heart away

took a week alone to see it
the only way that it could be believed
soon it turned back into nothing
in a way i guess i feel relieved
i'll let myself down slow i think i need it i don't know
there's nothing on the screen
what does it mean
when they say it's bad believe them
and if you stay you better look the part
another perfect time for leaving
another shot right through the heart now that's a start
i'll come back down before i see it waiting at my door
it's calling out my name
what is it for
turn my head and close my eyes
i guess my happiness will come in waves
parse my way across these lies
i guess the future will appear in grey
took a year alone to see it and give myself a little room to breathe
i've been calling out for seasons
but i don't know what i need
