Hi, so after many years you're back, or are you
How does it feel to swim between two shores?
This is opposite of what they say, it's too good to be true or is it
Trying to open mind to a heart that feels too close
Hi, so how are you doing? I'm trying to find the right words to say, but every time I reach towards the text box, I think I've made my hopes too high again
I desperately want you to say you like me back, but one moment from this can ruin it and send you diving back in the water, mysteriously disappearing
It's not healthy to want someone so much
You were a merman that made love to me along the shore
Hey, give me a chance please I swear I can be a cute girl like Jackie Kennedy - just look at my good side
I swear I'll be the right mix of cute and crazy
Please text back, hey were are you going
Are you going, no, you're coming back
Caught and turned upside down in a pale of emotions
You're my good secret they tell me to stay away from
I say to them, "You can't know a heroin addiction if you've never tried it"
The tsunami swirl as you suck me under
I love you, so wouldn't you just try to love me?
Can it be natural?
Can earth intermix with water?
Oh no, you're leaving again
You're leaving
You're swimming away
I'm still waiting for you
Drowning to the bottom
They don't know what it's like to
Love someone after they're gone
You thought I would just cave didn't you
But I may cave, please, oh god don't leave without me
I'm not that lonely
Can't do this
Let me love you
You're disappearing beneath the waves
Oh no
And just like this
It's hard to love you and breathe at the same time
When I'm still learning to love myself
It's like riding a bike
You can't hold onto
And at every swerve, I see your face and name
I hold onto love harder than they wish of a woman
But stay with me a minute
Stay, with, me
Teach me to breathe
I swear I'll make it better than you imagine
And when I die, please write my name across the stars
The girl who wanted to love you
Who waited by the shore for you
Awaiting your return
