Do you need a hand?

Everyone keeps asking, "Do you need a hand?"

I nod because it's easier than making them understand

There's a pressure in my chest no sentence can contain

I watch their mouths move slowly through the blue again

I have a thousand answers

None of them will reach the air

I'm underwater, calling through the glass You see me moving, but you don't see me gasping back

I can't speak underwater

I can't breathe underwater

If I could tell you what I need

I’d tell you not to leave me here alone with me

The room becomes a shoreline I can never quite arrive

Every question pulls me deeper, every

"fine" keeps me alive

I hold my hands together so nobody sees them shake

I wear a calm expression like a promise I can't make [Pre-Chorus]

I have a thousand answers

They dissolve before they're there

I'm underwater, calling through the glass You see me moving, but you don't see me gasping back

I can't speak underwater

I can't breathe underwater

If I could tell you what I need

I’d tell you not to leave me here alone with me [Bridge]

Don't ask me for the perfect words

Don't wait until I make it worse

Sit beside the silence

Keep your hand where I can find it I may not be able to say your name

But | still know the shape of being saved

I'm underwater, but I'm reaching for the glass

Stay long enough to see me, stay until the pressure passes

I can't speak underwater

I can't breathe underwater

If I can't explain what I need

Just stay close enough to help me breathe

Everyone keeps asking if I need help

I finally let the question mean something else [echos]
