lyrics

I told myself I wouldn't reach out
I knew better
My convictions all sailed south

A dozen more times
I tossed you a line
You left me drowning on my own
Its fine

I told you to
Tides in patterns I knew
Must be broken and dimmed
Damn time I learned to swim

Think what you will
I'm just mentally ill
But I'm open and honest
Isn't that what you wanted?

No you like the dark
Hiding your heart
Still licking your wounds from past lovers

I don't want to be saved
And I sure can't save you
But take me to the water, babe
Take off your shoes

It's been filling my lungs for years
Sinking under the weight of fear
I just want to get out of here
I just wanted to kiss your tears

Kiss mine back
Cut the shit
Take a breath
Touch my neck
Have a drink
Clear your head
Cut the shit
Come to bed
Hold my hand
Have a smoke
Take a drag
Have a toke
Drop the bags
Cut the shit
Get your feet wet

I don't need your hands
God herself reached down for me
