[Verse 1]

Thanks for coming to the beach I'm
Glad that we found a place to meet I'm mad agitated
This is one on one not Jon & Kate plus eight
Have a lot to say from the back of my brain
Don't need other ears to stand in the way
Of this convo I'mma be blunt like a tombstone
Let you know why I've been such an asshole
I don't wanna say it's your fault
But I haven't kept calm and it's kind of your fault
Sent me a letter detailed discretion
When you suffered from depression
Your house was caving in
Suicide excuse runs paper thin
Sink or swim that's all she wrote
Climb aboard this life boat
Held out advice but you passed it by
Neglected the fact that I paid the price
I spent the time to save your life
But you stood still when I made it right
You try to find a boy that can fill a void
You can fill on your own but insist there's no other choice
Than to hope for a guy to charm you
Aim sweet nothings at your heart with a harpoon
Best Friends
Soul mates
What we had was shallow
Not deep like the waves
[Verse 2]

My face above the water
My feet can't touch the ground
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon
Every time you are not around

[Hook]

I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the stream

[Verse 3]

My face above the water
My feet can't touch the ground
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon
Every time you are not around

[Hook]
I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the stream

[Verse 4]

Look me in the eye stop crying
Far apart by a thousand miles
Distant please don't deny it
Can't equalize when we're not compromising
Don't you get it I'm unappreciated
Trust it'd be different if we were dating
I pull more weight than the guy you're dating
You're too dependent on flakes I ain't hating
'Cause I truly care for you
Life is hard I'm preparing you
Let me ask make aware to you
At the end of the day who's there for you
The girl in the mirror needs an identity
And it starts with self esteem
I lack empathy
'Cause you don't help yourself with the basic means to succeed
I'm not the guy of your dreams
But I am someone you need
Too bad we couldn't see
My head hurting I got Aleve I gotta leave
I can't put you on a pedestal
I'm on a different level to be keeping us together
You wanna be a kid? That's no better
Grow up girl nothing lasts forever
[Verse 5]

I wish I could make it easy
Easy to love me, love me
But still I reach, to find a way
I'm stuck here in between
I'm looking for the right words to say

[Hook]

I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the stream

[Outro]

Tough love, tough loss
I tried, lost cause
Tough love, tough loss
I tried, you're lost
