I Saw Water
Tigers Jaw Lyrics

i said i wanted to break my friends
I expressed a desire to distance myself from my friends.

but my dependency won't let me away
However, I struggle to actually do so due to my dependency on them.

i'd like to think that i can work it out some
I hope that I can find a way to reconcile my feelings.

but i want to be put into the ground
At the same time, part of me wants to give up and disappear completely.

today i needed a break
Today, I was feeling overwhelmed and needed some time to myself.

my friends are up in mountains and i'm drowning in lakes
Meanwhile, my friends seem to be thriving and enjoying life while I am struggling.

i swallowed water right in front of her face
I took a risk and did something reckless to try to get a reaction out of someone.

just to show that she had nothing to say
I wanted to prove a point and demonstrate my power in the situation.

i felt lighter
Despite the recklessness, I felt a sense of relief and release.

i impressed her
My actions had the desired effect and impressed the person I was trying to get a reaction out of.

but my emotions ran unopposed
However, my reckless behavior was driven by my emotions and I didn't fully think through the consequences.

i felt just like brian jones
In that moment, I felt a sense of rebellion and like I was following in the footsteps of the infamous Rolling Stones member who lived a wild lifestyle.

i've never felt that lost before
It was a new experience for me to feel so consumed by my emotions that I acted recklessly.

i just don't feel incredible
Overall, I am not feeling very positive about my life or my ability to manage my emotions.

but me, well of course i liked you
Even with all of these negative emotions, I still have positive feelings towards someone.

have time for me, i don't expect you to
However, I don't want to put pressure on them to spend time with me if they don't want to.

i see me become a recluse
I am starting to withdraw from social situations and isolate myself more.

it's very easy to seclude
It's becoming increasingly easy for me to cut myself off from others and retreat into myself.

i saw water
I had a moment of clarity and relief when I saw water.

i felt better
Seeing the water gave me a sense of calmness and hope.

i woke up feeling embarrassed from
The next day, I realized how reckless and foolish my actions had been.

when i drowned in my swimming pool
In particular, I was embarrassed by the fact that I had put myself in danger by drowning in a swimming pool.

you thought it was an accident
Others may have assumed that my reckless behavior was an accident or mistake, when in reality it was intentional.

but i just can't get along with you
Despite everything going on in my life, I still have conflicts and issues in my relationships with others.
