naked and cold, he's all alone after you left him waiting, he
can't swim on his own, you picked up the phone, for hours you left him waiting
and you cried and you cried on the bathroom floor
as you tried to get back your baby boy
and you cried and you cried on the bathroom floor
as you tried to get back your baby

stuck in your mind, you think like a child, and make up your own solution, he
couldn’t of died, that doesn’t seem right, you’re deep in your own delusion
he’s right there, he’s right there, look into his eyes
he’s right there, he’s right there
he’s not there, he’s not there, don’t believe your lies
he’s right there, he’s right there

oh deep down you gotta know he’s already dead
ambiguous delusions oh they’re all in your head
one day you’ll know and it’s just too much to handle

why keep putting effort when I know you’re not there
one sided i’m alive and it feels like you don’t care
but you’re all I've got, why can’t we meet in the middle?

carry him ‘round, spiraling down, open his mouth and feed him
he won’t make a sound, and that makes you proud, can’t be alone you need him
he’s right there, he’s right there, look into his eyes
he’s right there, he’s right there
he’s not there, he’s not there, don’t believe your lies
he’s right there, he’s right there

oh deep down you gotta know he’s already dead
ambiguous delusions oh they’re all in your head
one day you’ll know and it’s just too much to handle

why keep putting effort when I know you’re not there
one sided i’m alive and it feels like you don’t care
but you’re all I've got, why can’t we meet in the middle?

  • I've been listening to your music since the release of umbrella hills, and it's only gotten better over time. You're gonna go big places!
  • This is so pretty-sounding (and depressing). This isn't usually my style of music, but those beautiful vocals and paired with the video are something else.
