I'm lying here
Chills every time I think of you
But these thoughts of you
They’re like your hands
Pushing down on my chest
Down, slowly down into this water

I'm lying here
Imagining those fire lit eyes, woah
Out of breath, and asking myself
‘Why do I do this?’
Because you weigh heavy
Heavy on my chest
Down, slowly down into this water

I want to run out of my mind
Shed this skin
And **** these thoughts
I'd love to hate you
Because imagining you is embarrassing
When will I have had enough?

Am I reasoning with logic?
When I tell myself it’s only natural
Natural for me to fantasize
About a made up time and place
Because the reality is:
This pressure is real
This water is thick
And this imagined pain hurts
And, still, I come back for more

I'm lying here
And I can't erase you out of my memory
I'm pushing myself under
Under the water
Down, slowly down
