quicksand

[Verse 1]

Searching for something real, yeah

Thought I found it in my feelings

I know you don’t try to hurt me

So why isn’t this working?

Guess I’m still just tryna deal, yeah

Still hoping it’s the real thing

We up, 3 AM conversations

So why are we still playing?

[Pre-Chorus]

Feeling like a vacation

All this time in my mind

Like I’m running through the matrix

Yeah, I hear you, baby

But do you hear what you’re saying?

I need action, baby, real traction

Fuck a conversation, yeah

[Chorus]

Feeling like I been riding the same wave

And it’s time to see the daylight

Pulling me back in, I think I’m drowning but it feels right

Yeah, it feels right, and if it feels right

Sink into you deeper, maybe I could stay here all night

Darker every day, I’m still hoping we’ll be alright

Say that love is pain, I’d say it’s at least a new high

But it feels right, and if it feels right

Sink into you deeper, maybe I could stay here all night

[Verse 2]

I wanna feel laid back like you’re my best friend

Anxious 'cause we’re working for the weekend

We go way back, before we even swam

Now I’m drowning in the deep end

Don’t even know how bad I’m trippin' on you

Hold my breathe until you’re back, now I’m turning blue

The afterglow, a perfect hue

[Pre-Chorus]

Feeling like a vacation, yeah

All this time in my mind

Like I’m running through the matrix, yeah

[Chorus]

Feeling like I been riding the same wave

And it’s time to see the daylight

Pulling me back in, I think I’m drowning but it feels right

Yeah, it feels right, and if it feels right

Sink into you deeper, maybe I could stay here all night

Darker every day, I’m still hoping we’ll be alright

Say that love is pain, I’d say it’s at least a new high

But it feels right, and if it feels right

Sink into you deeper, maybe I could stay here all night

[Bridge]

My lover, my friend

I was under the illusion it would last forever

It would never end, yeah

Now I’m drowning in the deep end

You know that I can’t swim

So where are you when I need you?

'Cause I never see you when I really need you, yeah

[Interlude]

'Cause I can stay here all night

'Cause I can stay here all night

[Outro]

If I hold my breath, you say hold it again

I just want love when I deserve revenge

Your love kills slow, precise, in control

Baby, my baby, I swear I’m not mad

Although you played me, I just want you back

You got it all but you’ll keep me around

Until you need me on the same team now
