lyrics

holy water
you're washing me
a baptism of sorts
in your father's bathroom
i have told you before that i am drowning
and you are my anchor

if i uncork the drain
will you slip down with the water
i think you'd like the ocean, and besides,
i don't know if you could stand to breathe
but i cannot uncork the drain
and though your hand dances closes
i don't think you can either

i made a beard of bubbles
and you asked me if i would regret this
i don't know
i won't regret the sun but i'll regret the hours spent in this water that's way too cold
you keep apologizing as you turn the thermostat down

i've said all of this before, so don't bother translating it
and we will sit in this holy water
until you decide to leave
because god knows i never could
