Swim me out to safety, away from how I may be
I like how you contain me, we move through waves so gently
Drown if I’m too weak to swim, like someone pushes me in
A captive, always drifting, why can’t the air touch my skin
I measure every thought in fear, it’s not the right one
And further from the shore I steer, lost in the ocean
I measure every thought in fear, it’s not the right one
And further from the shore I steer, lost in the ocean
Saltwater, takes me there some days I'm swimming
No matter the distance to sea if you’re swimming upstream
Saltwater, I’ll drown in you to keep on living
Go after, the things that you need til you’re feeling complete
Try my best to push through, when water’s cold and I’m blue
Feel I’m just treading to you, you’re my captain, I’m your lone crew
Wish I could stay on this shore, that waves don’t shake my core
It’s hard to turn to before, there’s comfort on ocean floor
I measure every thought in fear, it’s not the right one
And further from the shore I steer, lost in the ocean
I measure every thought in fear, it’s not the right one
And further from the shore I steer, lost in the ocean
Saltwater, takes me there some days I'm swimming
No matter the distance to sea if you’re swimming upstream
Saltwater, I’ll drown in you to keep on living
Go after, the things that you need til you’re feeling complete
If you go then I’ll go, anywhere we could go
Maybe I’ll let myself go, scared to let myself go
Try to let myself go, I could be myself you know
If you go then I’ll go, anywhere we could go
