Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And even in the freezing water it was hard to keep your cool
How will you spend that extra
Moment when you're waiting for your ride?
When there's a silence in the room, how will you occupy your mind?
Can't take the pain of separation any longer
Withdrawal symptoms fade, your mother called a doctor
They just don't understand
Feels like you woke up from a coma and you're finally in control
You held your breath for half a decade and you finally let it go
Ooo, you never saw yourself as somebody to swim against the stream
But since you lost it, curiosity's been bursting at the seams
Collecting phrases out of a strangers' conversations
Pick up the pieces out of peoples situations
You find an overwhelming sense of fascination with it all
As you're learning to crawl

Water Damage lyrics//
[Verse 1]
Forgot to empty out your pockets when you jumped into the pool
And even in the freezing water it was hard to keep your cool
How will you spend that extra moment when you're waiting for your ride?
When there’s a silence in the room, how will you occupy your mind?
[Chorus]
Can't take the pain of separation any longer
Withdrawal symptoms fade, your mother called a doctor
Feels like the longest that you've ever gone without it in your hands
They just don’t understand
[Verse 2]
Feels like you woke up from a coma and you're finally in control
You held your breath for half a decade and you finally let it go
Ooo, you never saw yourself as somebody to swim against the stream
But since you lost it, curiosity's been bursting at the seams
[Chorus]
