Water's Warm
Arrah and the Ferns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You have way too many reasons to burn my pull out bed
Ive made other new arrangements to paint my bedroom red
You think that maybe since you're leavin you can make a mess
Well I'm mad, you better be believin, I'll stop you in your tracks

When you're only half awake I try to predict
What you do to me if I carve my name in your chest
So you're off in California
Drinkin in the scene
Sold your face, see you on the tv
You're sleepin in the van

The waters warm, the waters much warmer
When will you learn how to swim
Turn it off
Turn off your cell phone
We'll hear from your closet again

When I'm only half awake I try to forget
What you could and should've been if you hadn't left

Hey yah it's too late for the radio
I said hey yah it's too late for your cameo
I said hey yah it's too late for the radio
I said hey yah it's too late for your cameo

Do wop do wah
Do wop do wah
Do wop do wah
Do wop do wah
Do wop do wah




Do wop do wah
Do wop do wah

Overall Meaning

The song "Water's Warm" by Arrah and the Ferns tells the story of a relationship that has broken apart due to the partner's decision to leave. The singer of the song is angry at the partner who is trying to create chaos during their departure, and she is not afraid to stop them in their tracks. The artist uses powerful lyrics to convey emotions of frustration and anger, such as "You have way too many reasons to burn my pull out bed," and "I try to predict what you do to me if I carve my name in your chest."


The song has a melancholic feel that is common in indie pop music, with the artist being reflective on what could have been if the partner hadn't left. The line "What you could and should've been if you hadn't left" stands out in particular, as it highlights the feeling of regret and missed opportunities. Throughout the song, the artist also references the warmth of the water, making it a recurring theme in the song. The title "Water's Warm" seems to be almost a metaphor for how the artist wants the partner to come back and swim in the pool of their relationship, but the partner is hesitating, perhaps because of the uncertainty that comes with diving into a pool blindly.
