I never fall with a full heart open
Since I have learned I can’t hold on
This is a necessary hoping
It’s a lesson I can’t outrun
Still I'm running to where the road ends
As I crave a place to hide
We borrow time until it’s over
My lonely cause is the only fight

I float in the water
Sink deeper
I held time but I could not keep her
Float in the water
Sink deeper
She was mine but I could not keep her
(HEY)

Oh My father he warned me
Don’t chase fame and fortune son
I left my heart home with my mother
She keeps it safe I know I can’t
And I’ve been writing her a letter

That I do not dare to send
I’ve been putting all my faith in
This fatal burn it has to end

So I
Float in the water
Sink deeper
I held time but I could not keep her
Float in the water
Sink deeper
She was mine but I could not keep her

When I'm obsessed with outliving
All the time I was given
And all my father warned
Don’t get famous son
Famous son
And all my father warned
Don’t get famous son
Famous son

I Float in the water
Sink deeper
I held time
But I could not keep her
Float in the water
Sink deeper
She was mine
But I could not keep her
(HEY)

Famous son, famous son
Famous son, famous son, famous son
