[Verse 1]

She was landlocked with her family name

By the time that I got there

She was in a state

I took her places

It took adjustment

Just being wanted

[Pre-Chorus]

And we ran before we walked before we crawled before we lay

Swam before she learnt, before she'd even seen the waves

I want the best and nothing less, I led her out so far

I took her deep and let the water have its way

[Chorus]

I had her hands

And everything was good

She could float just like I could

(She could float just like I could)

On our backs

And everything was gold

Should’ve never let her go

I knew she couldn’t float on her own

[Verse 2]

Closed-eye kisses through one-way glass

She watched her reflection

I watched her fall apart

She got sicker

She never breathed

The air like me

[Pre-Chorus]

And we ran before we walked before we crawled before we lay

Swam before she learnt, before she'd even seen the waves

I want the best and nothing less, I led her out so far

I took her deep and let the water have its way

[Chorus]

I had her hands

And everything was good

She could float just like I could

(She could float just like I could)

On our backs

And everything was gold

Should’ve never let her go

I knew she couldn’t float on her own

[Post-Chorus]

(She could float just like I could)

(She could float just like I could)

[Bridge]

Now she's wounded and it’s my fault

She had always been so careful

On my sonar, at the bottom

I will show her to the surface again

[Chorus]

I had her hands

And everything was good

She could float just like I could

(She could float just like I could)

On our backs

And everything was gold

Should’ve never let her go

I knew she couldn’t float on her own

[Outro]

(She could float just like I could)

(She could float just like I could)
