Cold Water
Sharone Ouazan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
And I hope you know
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight
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, no no, no more)
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 want to stay afloat
I'm all alone
And I hope, I hope
Someone's gonna take me home
Somewhere I can rest my soul
I need to know
You won't let go (I won't let go, no no, no more)
I'll be your lifeline tonight
You won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight
I won't let go
I won't let go
Compositor: Benny Blanco / Ed Sheeran
The lyrics of Sharone Ouazan's song "Cold Water" speak of being there for someone who is struggling and feeling lost, even if time or circumstances separate them. The opening lines acknowledge that everyone experiences difficult times when they may turn to things like drugs or alcohol, but the singer encourages taking a deep breath and letting go instead of drowning alone. They promise to be there to offer support, to jump into the "cold, cold water" for that person.
The chorus affirms this commitment, with the repetition of "I won't let go / I'll be your lifeline tonight." The second verse expands on the idea of feeling lost sometimes and how those experiences can contribute to learning and growth. The singer expresses a desire to be with this person throughout their life, until they're old, and not let them fight alone.
The bridge shifts slightly, with the singer asking for help themselves. They feel like they're in a "rocking boat" and need someone to "save" them and help them find a place where they can rest their soul. They hope that the person they're supporting is the one who will be there for them in return, with the phrase "you won't let go" replacing "I won't let go" in the final chorus.
Overall, "Cold Water" is a powerful song about the importance of supporting one another and being a lifeline in difficult times. It acknowledges that everyone struggles, but emphasizes the need for connection and commitment to getting through those struggles together.
