[Verse 1: Ricky Dana]
Her mother wraps my heart around in cellophane
Her brother grabs my hand to watch the motorcade
You ask me why
I'm never gonna give it up
Her father drinks enough to kill an elephant
He blames the rich, the poor, that trust the government
He wonders why
The kids stopped showing up

[Chorus: Wyn Barnum]
Walking on the water
I can't see the bottom
Photograph each other
It lasts a bit longer
Keep you in my wallet
To leave a reminder
That all I'll ever be
Is a heartbreak designer

[Verse 2: Ricky Dana & Jordan Torres]
They mark the children's height along the windowpane
And watch the shadows dance across the interstate
I ask her why
She's never gonna feel the same
I don't know what to say to you
The funny thing's I already knew
Would it get in the way
Of loving you?
[Chorus: Wyn Barnum]
Walking on the water
I can't see the bottom
Photograph each other
It lasts a bit longer
Keep you in my wallet
To leave a reminder
That all I'll ever be
Is a heartbreak designer
