water

Can I see you tonight?

Look at me while I'm making you happy

I'm the moon and the stars and the skies

I watch your lips curl and shiver like fish on the shore

And I wish that you'd open your eyes

At least for a second to see how we're moving

See how I take you like medicine

See how you need me beside you at least for a second

Then you button your shirt up again

You are water

You are water

Look at us in the corner at Maggie's

Only us in a sea of drunken heads

I say, "I'm happy you decided to show up"

Your eyes are wandering to much taller men

I'm throwing lines like I'm planting a garden

You say you don't feel like talking just yet

At least when I get you alone, I'll know that you're mine

And I'll take all of you once again

You are water

You are water

Don't you know I am your tides, you are the ocean

Won't you take me as I am

Oh, oh

I need you like water, I need you like water

I need you

I need you like water, I need you like water

I need you

Look at you when you choose to consume me

Crash your waves over my every limb

I'll be quietly cool while you drown my body

And I'll thank you for letting me swim
