lyrics

I was thinking about September when you said
not to forget about the string around my head.
"It'll pull you through oceans, underwater."
But that still won't be enough to save your daughter.

And the Delaware poured rivers out of my ears,
and the Hudson at the time was the worst of my fears,
cause I'm always surrounded by water,
and you'll never be able to save your daughter.

At the sink while you sat in your bed,
I choked out all the rivulets you paved in my head.
Fingers in my throat cracked dams from models that you drew,
and as you took another swallow all my face broke out in blue.

And the Delaware poured rivers out of my ears,
and the Hudson at the time was the worst of my fears,
cause I'm always surrounded by water,
and you'll never be able to save your daughter.

This one time I went out on the edge of a limb,
and I'm nineteen years old, but I never learned to swim.
So I sank like a rock till you grabbed my hand
and said, "The water is shallow, you just have to fucking stand."

And the Delaware poured rivers out of my ears,
and the Hudson at the time was the worst of my fears,
cause I'm always surrounded by water,
and you'll never be able to save your daughter.
