Shallow End

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Woke up in the afternoon, the room is still cold Story of a broken boy that’s never been told I saw your face in the static on the TV Then it flickered out like you were never meant for me [Pre-Chorus] I keep your name in my mouth like a loaded prayer Turn the key in the lock and you’re standing there But it’s just the chair, just the door, just the ache And my hands shake, my hands shake [Chorus] I’m drownin' in the shallow end, searching for your ghost again These pills don't taste like candy, they just taste like how it should’ve been Heartbeat syncopated to the rhythm of the rain I’m addicted to the memory, I’m in love with all the pain Yeah, I’m in love with all the pain You left a hole inside my chest, now I’m filling it with rain [Verse 2] Your hoodie on the back of a chair like a flag I fold it up slow, then I take it back The sink won’t drain and the carpet won’t dry Every little corner got a reason to cry [Pre-Chorus] I keep your name in my mouth like a loaded prayer Turn the key in the lock and you’re standing there But it’s just the chair, just the door, just the ache And my hands shake, my hands shake [Chorus] I’m drownin' in the shallow end, searching for your ghost again These pills don't taste like candy, they just taste like how it should’ve been Heartbeat syncopated to the rhythm of the rain I’m addicted to the memory, I’m in love with all the pain Yeah, I’m in love with all the pain You left a hole inside my chest, now I’m filling it with rain [Bridge] If you call me now, I might still answer If you call me now, I might sink faster I learned your silence like a second skin Tell me where you end and I can begin [Final Chorus] I’m drownin' in the shallow end, searching for your ghost again These pills don't taste like candy, they just taste like how it should’ve been Heartbeat syncopated to the rhythm of the rain I’m addicted to the memory, I’m in love with all the pain Yeah, I’m in love with all the pain You left a hole inside my chest, now I’m filling it with rain
