[Verse 1]

You give up a few things

Chasing a dream

I keep running away from

Every sin I made at seventeen

Took the scenic route

Down a dead end street

Thought I'd find you there

Thought I'd find what I might need

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh sweet oxygen

Let me breathe again

[Chorus]

And it shows

I'm overexposed with fear in tow

The same lyrical tropes and overused notes

Well I cut the rope

That I tied to the past

I've always known

I'd like to be the water where you float

[Verse 2]

You're begging for a reason

I'm trying to explain

That what you're hearing’s

What I need to say

Been crawling through the darkness

Been fighting off the pain

My scars still show

It gets worse every day

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh sweet oxygen

Let me breathe again

With your hands around my neck

I'm starting to give in

[Chorus]

And it shows

I'm overexposed with fear in tow

The same lyrical tropes and overused notes

I cut the rope

That I tied to the past

I've always known

I'd like to be the water where you float

[Bridge]

The sins I made at seventeen

Have started crashing down on me

I'm swimming against

The currents of regret

That brought you to me

[Chorus]

It shows

I'm overexposed with fear in tow

The same lyrical tropes and overused notes

I cut the rope

That I tied to the past

I've always known

I'd like to be the water where you float
