I like your sweater What you doing now? Yeah, I'm still living In that part of town Don't ask how I'm doing 'Cause trust me, you don't wanna know Let's stay on the surface Till it's time for me to go home Till then though You'll find me hiding in the small talk Till I've bored everybody in the whole room And then you'll find me talking 'bout the weather And things that don't matter For the whole night, through It's easier to stay in the shallows 'cause I'd drown in the ocean Then I'd lie awake in bed regretting every word that I've spoken If I was honest, it's hard right now And most days I'm scared of letting my parents down Don't ask how I'm doing 'Cause trust me, you don't wanna know Let's stay on the surface Till it's time for me to go home Till then though You'll find me hiding in the small talk Till I've bored everybody in the whole room And then you'll find me talking bout the weather And things that don't matter For the whole night, through It's easier to stay in the shallows 'cause I'd drown in the ocean Then I'd lie awake in bed regretting every word that I've spoken And if I drink too much I'm terrified I'll tear my heart open And I'm running out of ways, running out of ways to keep my composure You'll find me hiding in the small talk Till I've bored everybody in the whole room You'll find me talking bout the weather And things that don't matter For the whole night, through It's easier to stay in the shallows 'cause I'd drown in the ocean Then I'd lie awake in bed regretting every word that I've spoken And if I drink too much I'm terrified I'll tear my heart open And I'm running out of ways, running out of ways to keep my composure
