How long can we tread water?
How long can we stay afloat?

You loved me like a broken record
Skipping through your favorite verse
You're dancing under something better
For somebody that knows your worth

I, I'm just an echo
Yeah, I, I'm just a wave
Crashing

How long can we tread water, oh, oh?
How long can we stay afloat?
You wanna swim, you gotta learn to let go
'Cause if you hold me any longer, yeah, you know
We'll sink like a stone

We'll sink like a stone

I never meant to break that promise
I never meant to let you down
You thought that I was something different
It's funny how it all played out

Yeah, I, I'm just your lifeboat (lifeboat)
But I capsized in your wave (your wave)
Crashing

How long can we tread water? (How long, how long?)
Yeah, how long can we stay afloat? (How long, how long?)
You wanna swim, you gotta learn to let go
'Cause if you hold me any longer, yeah, you know
We'll sink like a stone

Now, nothing I could say is gonna change the way you won (oh)
The tide can't wash away the memory of us
[?] cycle in the boat
I give you the last breath of air from my lungs (oh)

How long can we tread water, oh, oh?
How long can we stay afloat?
You wanna swim, you gotta learn to let go
'Cause if you hold me any longer, yeah, you know (we'll sink like a stone)
If you hold me any longer, yeah, you know
We'll sink like a stone

We'll sink like a stone
