Tread Water

How long can we tread water?

How long can we stay afloat?

You loved me like a broken record

Skipping through your favorite verse

You're dancing under something better

For somebody that knows your worth

I, I'm just an echo

Yeah, I, I'm just a wave

Crashing

How long can we tread water? Oh, oh

How long can we stay afloat? (Stay afloat)

You wanna swim, you gotta learn to let go

'Cause if you hold me any longer, yeah, you know

We'll sink like a stone

We'll sink like a stone

I never meant to break that promise

I never meant to let you down

You thought that I was something different

It's funny how it all played out

I, I'm just your lifeboat (lifeboat)

But I capsized in your wave (your wave)

Crashing

How long can we tread water? (How long, how long?)

Yeah, how long can we stay afloat? (How long, how long?)

You wanna swim, you gotta learn to let go

'Cause if you hold me any longer, yeah, you know

We'll sink like a stone

Now nothing I could say is gonna change the way you won

The tide can't wash away the memory of us

Brought a search and rescue, circling the boat

I'd give you the last breath of air from my lungs

How long can we tread water?

How long can we stay afloat?

You wanna swim, you gotta learn to let go

'Cause if you hold me any longer, yeah, you know (we'll sink like a stone)

If you hold me any longer, yeah, you know

We'll sink like a stone

We'll sink like a stone
