If I raise my hands
Would save me or would you shoot me?
I don't know what I want,
I just hope it's over quickly
And I don't feel a thing
I've been paralyzed
By the crashing waves
And terrified
By the sight of the sand
Drowning in the shallows
Drowning in the shallows
If you see me on the surface,
Please hold me down
Until you're sure I've changed
I've been so scared
Of feeling bad,
I don't feel anything these days
These days
I've been terrified
By the sight of your face
I've been paralyzed
By the touch of your hand
Drowning in the shallows
Drowning in the shallows
I jumped in the water
Because the ground was killing me
But the deep blue sea
Just got me down.
I turned to head back for land,
But I got scared
At the sight of the sand,
Now I'm treading water,
But I'm starting to drown
Drowning in the shallows
