lyrics

It was the winter you began to blame yourself.
“I tried. I swear, I tried.”
We did not know what to do,
You swore you could have stopped your own heart.

And the cold on the beach bit at my hands when you told me,
“I think drowning is more peaceful than swimming.”
I saw your scared stare, the cold in your voice tore out my throat, you breathed out,
You said that drowning, drowning is more peaceful than swimming.

Your voice broke
Against the rocks
My heart caved in,
It shook the apartment.

We won't drown ourselves in a sea of change.

You watched the rain turn to snow from your bedroom window
And it flew instead of fell.
You begged yourself to do the same.
You just wanted things to stay.

And I offered you another cup of coffee in the wake of the kitchen,
I just wanted you to feel at home instead of adrift here.
You finally spoke up and said that “I’m fine, I’m fine. Really, I’m fine.
My eyes are just too heavy lately,
the same as every single fucking day."

Saltwater waves beat down the door,
You were collapsed on the floor.
We can still survive.
We won't drown ourselves.
We won't drown ourselves.
We won't drown ourselves.

Your voice broke
Against the rocks
My heart caved in,
It shook the apartment
