Lyrics

Head un der wa ter, and they tell me to breathe eas y for a while.

The breath ing gets hard er; e ven I know that.

Made room for me.

It’s too soon to see

if I’m hap py in your hands.

I’m u su’l ly hard to hold on to.

Blank stares at blank pag es.

No eas y way to say this.

You mean well but you make this hard on me.

I’m not gon na write you a love song ’cause you ask for it, ’cause you need one.

You see, I’m not gon na write you a love song ’cause you tell me it’s make or break in’ this.

If you’re on your way, I’m not gon na write you to stay.

If all you have is leav in’, I’m gon na need a bet ter rea son to write you

a love song

to day.
