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
