Water Lyrics by Joseph Marcus

ROOT EP

2019

[Verse 1]
Here I am alone again
I don't know why I complain like this
Over and over again, oh
I'm not shocked by the things you said
I'm not surprised, 'causes you came like this
Should've believed you, when you

[Pre-Chorus]
Told me this would never work
You did not deserve me
Told me you would hurt me
I'll grant you your air to breathe
After all the days we spent together
You desert me
Told me you would hurt me

[Chorus]
And now we're in the water
Drifting far with heavy tides we simply can't control
We're heavy in this water
Going deeper, I don't know how long my breath can hold
So are we gonna save each other?
Or do I leave you behind?
Pursue peace of mind
Or just keep wasting my time?
We're heavy in this water
We're heavy in this water, water

[Verse 2]
Now I am alone again
Clutching at pieces that always made sense
Always made sense
So won't you let me please
Float again?
I will ascend
Oceans left behind to fly
Fly...

[PreChorus]
(And you told me)
Told me this would never work (It would never work)
You did not deserve me
Told me you would hurt me
I'll grant you your air to breathe
After all the days we spent together
You desert me
Told me you would hurt me (Woah)

[Chorus]
And now we're in the water
Drifting far with heavy tides we simply can't control
We're heavy in this water (Oh)
Going deeper, I don't know how long my breath can hold (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
So are we gonna save each other? (Oh-oh-oh)
Or do I leave you behind?
Pursue peace of mind
Or just keep wasting my time? (Or just keep wasting my time?)
We're heavy in this water
We're heavy in this water, water

[Bridge]
Mm, I know I can’t go on like this
But you always feel so good when you act like that
Could be ghost for days, there’s no sense in it
I always seem to find a reason to come running back

[Chorus]
And now we're in the water
Drifting far with heavy tides we simply can't control
We're heavy in this water (In this water)
Going deeper, I don't know how long my breath can hold (I don't know, oh-oh-oh)
So are we gonna save each other?
Or do I leave you behind?
Pursue peace of mind
Or just keep wasting my time?
We're heavy in this water (We're heavy in this water)
We're heavy in this water, water

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
We're heavy in this water
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We're heavy in this water, water
