[Verse 1]
Cold tiles under my feet
Empty glass on the sink
I watch the tap keep dripping
Like it’s counting down with me
Phone face down in the hallway
Your coat still on the chair
Every room feels crowded
With the things you’re not saying
[Chorus]
I’m in shallow waters
But I’m still drowning
Can’t touch the bottom
Can’t stop sinking
It ain’t that deep
That’s what you told me
But I’m going under every moment
Shallow waters
Swallowing me slowly
(so slowly)
[Verse 2]
Blue light on in the kitchen
Midnight buzz in my head
I trace your name in the steam
Till the mirror just forgets
All the words we left half-spoken
Float like dust in this air
You said
“We’re fine
We’re fine”
Then you vanished up the stairs
[Chorus]
I’m in shallow waters
But I’m still drowning
Can’t touch the bottom
Can’t stop sinking
It ain’t that deep
That’s what you told me
But I’m going under every moment
Shallow waters
Swallowing me slowly
(so slowly, so slowly)
[Bridge]
If it’s so easy
Why can’t I breathe? (why?)
If I should move on
Why won’t you leave me?
[Chorus]
I’m in shallow waters
But I’m still drowning
Can’t touch the bottom
Can’t stop sinking
It ain’t that deep
That’s what you told me
But I’m going under every moment
Shallow waters
Swallowing me slowly
(shallow waters)
Shallow waters
That’s where you left me
