Atlantis (feat. Phoebe Bridgers)

If I was Atlantis and you were the sea I'd sneak up behind you and break your knees I'd cut off your fingers and both of your feet So you couldn't reach me, but you couldn't leave If I was a painter, if I was brave I'd hang up a canvas and give it a name I'd call it the future and just leave it blank Get high off the fumes and die in the paint It's overdramatic, yeah, I know Somebody cast me in a TV show Where I play an addict, a drunken romantic Always reaching for another drink But after a season I'd get replaced By some asshole with a better face But I'll steal the costume on my way out And I'll wear it when we go dancing Wipe all the makeup off of your face We can turn off the lights if it makes you feel safe I learned about love in American cars A rusted-out frame and a lot of spare parts But there in the backseat, freezing cold Just barely seventeen years old I saw the dragon and I gave chase A perfect example of a hopeless case And every doctor that drew my blood Could find no explanation Maybe it's a virus, maybe it's love Or just my imagination If I was Atlantis and you were the sea I'd sneak up behind you and set you free
