stayed swimming

You seemed smaller when I saw you again

Like revisiting your childhood home

Felt like a mansion back then

But it's still a one bed flat on a terraced street

It's all perspective, I guess

No longer us, only me

Water breaks the dam or something

What must be spoken will be said

You didn't have a choice, it was written

If something is to die, it will find death

Tryna stay away, didn't wanna face the pain

Some would call it fate, cos y'know now

Like a fish needs water

I needed you

(I needed you, I needed you, I needed you, I needed you)

Took a while to get here

But then we knew

(But then we knew, yeah then we knew, oh then we knew and then we knew)

I was treading water, wading through the dirt ya

We danced on broken glass, jumped over bricks and mortar

You were spilling over, couldn't keep contained

We had never had to look into a mirror

But I was dancing on my own

You were in the dark at home

Said this here is oceans wide

But we stayed swimming against the tide

Yeah, we were swimming against the tide

Water broke the dam or something

What must be spoken, it was said

U didn't have a choice, it was written

If something... If something is to die

Tryna stay away, didn't wanna face the pain

Some would call it fate, cos y'know now

Like a fish needs water

I needed you

I- I needed you now

Took a while to get here, yeah

But then we, but then we-

Yeah, then we knew now
