lyrics

I tried
But you wouldn’t let me go
Let me go
Go where I wanted to go

You and I were drinking from a cup we thought was bottomless
and so we never filled it up
But even in the shallow waves
I'm crashing up against you like a broken bottle babe

I know you always
Thought this thing would hold the way you wanted it to
And who would've guessed
That I would be the one to stretch it till it breaks
