You were the flame
But you burned out easily, yeah
And you see the light through the dark
But you can't quite see through to me

And every word that you waste
Every breath that you faked
Hope they're keeping you up at night
And I'm dying to let you go now, let you go

You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave
I'm the reason you're coming up for air
Holding on to a memory
You can blame it on wishful sinking

You can blame it on wishful sinking
I'd try to save you but what were you thinking?

So just breathe slow
Caught in the undertow
And I'm fighting the current, holding my ground
If you can't let go, the pressure will hold you down

Remember when you said, "Until the end"
I swear I'll never feel the same again

You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave
I'm the reason you're coming up for air
Holding on to a memory
You can blame it on wishful sinking

You can blame it on wishful sinking
I'd try to save you but what were you thinking?

I'd try to save you but what were you thinking?

Every word that you waste
Every breath that you faked
Hope they're keeping you up at night
And I'm dying to let you know now, dying to let you know

They're coming for you
Let you go

You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave
I'm the reason you're coming up for air
Holding on to a memory
You can blame it on wishful sinking

You can blame it on wishful sinking
I'd try to save you (I'd try to save you)
I'd try to save you but what were you thinking?
