Shallow waters
Sonny Alven X Jarand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Holding my breath
Holding my breath
It's hard to keep myself from sinking even further down
Biding my time
That nothing seems to change the fact that we were gonna drown
That nothing seems to change the fact that we were gonna drown
That nothing seems to change the fact that we were gonna drown
We're drowning in shallow waters
Hoping
For a sight away
So bring us down to tears
So bring us down to tears
So bring us down to tears
So bring us down to tears

(Holding my breath)
(Holding my breath)
That nothing seems to change the fact that we were gonna drown

Holding my breath
It's hard to keep myself from sinking even further down
Biding my time
That nothing seems to change the fact that we were gonna drown
That nothing seems to change the fact that we were gonna drown
That nothing seems to change the fact that we were gonna drown

We're drowning in shallow waters
Hoping
For a sight away
So bring us down to tears
So bring us down to tears
So bring us down to tears
So bring us down to tears

(Holding my breath)
(Holding my breath)

We're drowning in shallow waters
Hoping
For a sight away
So bring us down to tears
So bring us down to tears
So bring us down to tears
So bring us down to tears





(Holding my breath)
(Holding my breath)
