lyrics

There are some comedowns that even the sea can’t cure
I surrender myself when I hear the siren’s lure
There are some comedowns that nobody’s love can fix
I pretend to myself that it helps when you kiss my lips

Come up for air and I know that I stayed out way too late
The waves crash over me it’s clear I made a big mistake
I’m going under I think that I might just suffocate, baby

I cast my mind back and everything is embarrassing
Broken bravado falling apart of a fantasy
Now I’m caught up in a tidal wave of anxiety, save me

A Public display of affection
And a loaded question
Thrown back in my face

I know I was lacking discretion
With each recollection
I’m feeling ashamed

There are some comedowns that even the sea can’t cure
I surrender myself when I hear the siren’s lure
There are some comedowns that nobody’s love can fix
I pretend to myself that it helps when you kiss my lips

Why would I want to drink when I’m already drunk?
It’s a way to avoid all the things that I’ve done
Don't remember dancing in the dark
But I'm feeling it today

Why would I wanna sing when I'm already sad?
No surprise to me after the night that I’ve had
Now I’m begging of the ocean just to
Wash my sins away

Need something to reassure
Pull me to the ocean floor

Promise me you’ll never do this again
Gotta Promise me, close your eyes and count to ten
Promise me you’ll never do this again
Gotta Promise me, close your eyes and count to ten

There are some comedowns that even the sea can’t cure
I surrender myself when I hear the siren’s lure
There are some comedowns that nobody’s love can fix
I pretend to myself that it helps when you kiss my lips

There are some comedowns that even the sea can’t cure
I surrender myself when I hear the siren’s lure
There are some comedowns that even the sea can’t cure
