I'm a little late
Get you water for the wait
I dabble in the past, yeah, I said it
I finally admit it
I told you it was over, then I skinny-dipped and did it
I should've known better, but I didn't overthink it
And I probably would've floated, but I sank it
Took a dive in the deep and forgot to move
Swam with the fish 'til my kiss turned blue
I aired out my sheets 'cause they smell like you
I cleaned out the salt in my wounds
And I'm a little late, ah, ah, ah, ah
Get you water for the wait, ah, ah, ah, ah
Take you out into the lake, ah, ah, ah, ah
Then I'll let you swim away, ah, ah, yeah, yeah
I step on every crack, give me credit
Your ego, never fed it
My legs just caught a cold and so I didn't wanna spread it
You told me if I tried to walk away I would regret it
Maybe if I didn't swim, I would've sweat it
Used to read every story 'bout me and you
Checked out your book, now it's overdue
I tried to return 'cause I'm over you
I cleaned out the salt in my wounds
And I'm a little late, ah, ah, ah, ah
Get you water for the wait, ah, ah, ah, ah
Take you out into the lake, ah, ah, ah, ah
Then I'll let you swim away, ah, ah, yeah, yeah
Acting like you know me
Instead of trying to show me
Say you praise my body
I could love somebody else
Better if I was lonely
Justified to hold me
Maybe if I was the only
Better if I would've known better
And I'm a little late, ah, ah, ah, ah
Get you water for the wait, ah, ah, ah, ah
Take you out into the lake, ah, ah, ah, ah
Then I'll let you swim away, ah, ah, yeah, yeah
