lyrics

Barely Above

we were wading in the shallows
with our waists above the water
watched you walk out ‘till you couldn’t
any longer.

so you tread until you tired
but the waves were getting higher.
soon you’d be sinking
down to the deepest.

just barely above the waves,
barely understanding how it got this way.

you sat there at the bottom
wrote a note into a bottle
hoping we might read it and
maybe know the feeling.

but we’re only half awake,
barely understanding how you got this way

I stood there in the corner
your mother’s on your shoulder
saying, “wake up my baby,
everyone is waiting,”

just barely through the day,
barely understanding how it got this way.
