​​​quicksand Lyrics by Dead Lakes

daydreamer

2023

[Verse 1]
Searching for something real, yeah
Thought I found it in my feelings
I know you don’t try to hurt me
So why isn’t this working?
Guess I’m still just tryna deal, yeah
Still hoping it’s the real thing
We up, 3 AM conversations
So why are we still playing?
[Pre-Chorus]
Feeling like a vacation
All this time in my mind
Like I’m running through the matrix
Yeah, I hear you, baby
But do you hear what you’re saying?
I need action, baby, real traction
Fuck a conversation, yeah
[Chorus]
Feeling like I been riding the same wave
And it’s time to see the daylight
Pulling me back in, I think I’m drowning but it feels right
Yeah, it feels right, and if it feels right
Sink into you deeper, maybe I could stay here all night
Darker every day, I’m still hoping we’ll be alright
Say that love is pain, I’d say it’s at least a new high
But it feels right, and if it feels right
Sink into you deeper, maybe I could stay here all night
[Verse 2]
I wanna feel laid back like you’re my best friend
Anxious 'cause we’re working for the weekend
We go way back, before we even swam
Now I’m drowning in the deep end
Don’t even know how bad I’m trippin' on you
Hold my breathe until you’re back, now I’m turning blue
The afterglow, a perfect hue
[Pre-Chorus]
Feeling like a vacation, yeah
All this time in my mind
Like I’m running through the matrix, yeah
[Chorus]
Feeling like I been riding the same wave
And it’s time to see the daylight
Pulling me back in, I think I’m drowning but it feels right
Yeah, it feels right, and if it feels right
Sink into you deeper, maybe I could stay here all night
Darker every day, I’m still hoping we’ll be alright
Say that love is pain, I’d say it’s at least a new high
But it feels right, and if it feels right
Sink into you deeper, maybe I could stay here all night
[Bridge]
My lover, my friend
I was under the illusion it would last forever
It would never end, yeah
Now I’m drowning in the deep end
You know that I can’t swim
So where are you when I need you?
'Cause I never see you when I really need you, yeah
[Interlude]
'Cause I can stay here all night
'Cause I can stay here all night
[Outro]
If I hold my breath, you say hold it again
I just want love when I deserve revenge
Your love kills slow, precise, in control
Baby, my baby, I swear I’m not mad
Although you played me, I just want you back
You got it all but you’ll keep me around
Until you need me on the same team now
