lyrics

What is this
What are we
Do you miss me when I’m not around
You are on my list

Just a matter of time
‘Fore this bottle explodes
Do you know what you would like from me
I would like to take things
Slowly from here out

Am I yours
Are you mine
Do you think that we could find the time
Despite our busy lives
To talk ‘bout where we are

Am I a fool under water
I’m screaming out
Oh, I’m reaching out
Won’t you help me now
Am I a fool under water
I’m screaming out
Oh I’m reaching out
To you
Save me ‘fore I drown

These scars I wear
They’re from times before
Don’t know why I let myself believe
I didn’t deserve more
Figured I’d be ready by now
Darlin’ I swear I’ll figure myself out

Am I a fool under water
I’m screaming out
Oh, I’m reaching out
Won’t you help me now

And at the end of the day
All I want is for us to be okay
I’ll try to be brave

Am I a... I’m afraid

I’m just a fool under water
I’m screaming out
I’m reaching out
Won’t you help me now
I’m just a fool under water
I am screaming out
I am reaching out
To you
Save me ‘fore I drown

What is this
