Cold Water
Justin Bieber Major Lazer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody gets high sometimes, you know
What else can we do when we're feeling low?
So take a deep breath and let it go
You shouldn't be drowning on your own

And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over
Into cold, cold water for you
And although time may take us into different places
I will still be patient with you
And I hope you know

I won't let go (I won't let go)
I'll be your lifeline tonight
I won't let go (I won't let go)
I'll be your lifeline tonight

'Cause we all get lost sometimes, you know?
It's how we learn and how we grow
And I wanna lay with you 'til I'm old
You shouldn't be fighting on your own

And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over
Into cold, cold water for you
And although time may take us into different places
I will still be patient with you
And I hope you know

I won't let go (I won't let go)
I'll be your lifeline tonight
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight

Come on, come on
Save me from my rocking boat
I just wanna stay afloat
I'm all alone
And I hope someone's gonna take me home
Somewhere I can rest my soul
I need to know

I won't let go (I won't let go)
I'll be your lifeline tonight




I won't let go (I won't let go)
I'll be your lifeline tonight

Overall Meaning

In "Cold Water," Justin Bieber and Diplo's electronic dance music project, Major Lazer, team up to create a song about being each other's support system during tough times. The song's opening lines acknowledge that everyone has moments where they feel hopeless or lost. However, rather than sinking deeper into that mindset, the song encourages listeners to take a deep breath and release their worries. Together, the song's narrator and their companion will overcome their struggles and face life's challenges with patience and dedication.


Throughout the song, the singer promises to be a "lifeline" for their friend. They refuse to let go, even if their path leads them in different directions. The second verse reinforces the idea that everyone goes through tough times – even the singer themselves. Despite this, the singer remains steadfast in their commitment to their friend, giving the song a sense of hope and warmth that Bieber's fans have come to know and appreciate.


Overall, "Cold Water" is a testament to the power of friendship and camaraderie during trying times. While the lyrics are simple, they carry universal messages that people can relate to and find comfort in.
