UNDERWATER

Beth Keeping, Kaity Rae


I’m out of my depth
Against the tide I’m fighting a war
I’m holding my breath for
Nothing I guess I can’t swim to the surface no more

I don’t need a pick a-me-up don’t need you to pull me up
This feeling’s bigger than us and I feel it too much
You hate to see me like this
Just know you don’t need to fix it
Come and calm me down
It’s all I need now

When nothing you can say will make it better
Could you love me underwater?
When I’m sinking down can we go there together
Could you love me
Could you love me underwater

Could you sit here beside me
When everything within me feels broken
I hope you don’t mind me
Clinging to you so I can’t lose myself in this ocean

I don’t need a pick a-me-up don’t need you to pull me up
This fight is bigger than us and I can’t fight it off
You’re my safety when I
Get all caught up in the riptide
You calm me down
You’re all I need now

When nothing you can say will make it better
Could you love me underwater?
When I’m sinking down can we go there together
Could you love me
Could you love me underwater

When I’m lost and I hit the bottom
Try to climb but keep falling
Could you meet me in the deep end
Where it’s heavy, heart bleeding
I promise I’m a fighter
When it all starts getting lighter
I’ll come back and I’ll be strong
And you can lean on me if you want to

When nothing you can say will make it better
Could you love me underwater?
When I’m sinking down can we go there together
Could you love me
Could you love me underwater
