Prompt / Lyrics
[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

Verses stay hushed and close-mic’d over sparse cinematic pads; chorus widens with big reverb, tambourine hits, and a dark, swelling low end. Clean lead vocal carries a haunting topline; stacked harmonies bloom on the hook while the atmosphere hangs heavy and tragic., clean, indie folk, pop
