Lyrics

VERSE 1
Dripping faucet, ticking clock
This silence is too loud
I'm pacing up and down

I hear your key in the lock
You walk in without a sound
And my heart begins to pound

PRECHORUS
I'm dying to touch you
But you're out of reach

CHORUS
We're just treading water
It's getting harder
Will we sink into the sea
Or are we worth rescuing
We're just treading water
Keep our heads above the waves
So we can try to save this love

VERSE 2
Haven't slept since that fight
We have barely talked for days
In bed we face opposite ways

It doesn't matter who was right
Pride that separates our hearts
Has us drifting far apart

PRECHORUS
I'm drowning without you
It's hard to breathe

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I still remember when we would talk all through the night
I hear the way you laugh, I see the mischief in your eyes
I still remember, so I won't give up on this love
Please don't give up on this love
On this love

CHORUS
