Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hold me down under the water
You know well that I can't swim
I'm not trying to be a martyr
Know that I'm gonna let you in
Safe and warm inside myself
You mean more than someone else
You need space, you need time
You take yours and I'll take mine
Come closer, so I can be the one to push
It's not me, it's just you
It doesn't mean shit when it falls through
Come closer, so I can be the one to push you
The one to push
Hold me tight enough to keep me
Bite my tongue, so I can't speak
Clip my wings so I can't fly
Bury me deep, but I won't die
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?
You need space, you need time
You take yours and I'll take mine
Come closer (closer), so I can be the one to push
It's not me, it's just you
It doesn't mean shit when it falls through
Come closer (closer), so I can be the one to push you (push you)
The one to push you (push you)
Guess I needed you enough not to notice
Guess I wanted you enough to lie
You wear so many faces
I should've known it
But that sure was a beautiful disguise
You need space, you need time
You take yours and I'll take mine
Come closer, so I can be the one to push
It's not me it's just you
It's doesn't mean shit when it falls through
Come closer (closer), so I can be the one to push you (push you, yeah)
The one to push you (push you)
The one to push you
But I can't forget the past
When we made love and when you touch me
Let me hold you
So, you can be the one to push back
