lyrics

I remember
In the river
We were floating
Together
In your old canoe
I saw a rock ahead
I waited for your cue
But you didn’t notice
So we crashed
Our clothes were wet
I was so mad
But you just smiled and laughed
You told me
That

Just because we get a little water in our boat
That don’t mean that it’s not gonna float

So I calmed down and breathed

A few years later
I was so scared I
Had to tell you
So I sat you down
And told you what I needed to say
You just reacted the wrong way

I was hurt
I was lost
For so long

You were scared
And confused
You were wrong

I had to
Breathe
It was so exhausting
But this love is lasting
I had to keep in mind

That
Just because we get a little water in our boat
That don’t mean that it’s not gonna float

Yeah
Just because we get a little water in our boat
That don’t mean that it’s not gonna float

Cut to now
You still don’t get it all somehow
You hardly listen; you just shout
I wish you’d take a step back
Please don’t overreact
I know you love me; I’m glad
Just wish you’d bravely face the facts

But I can’t control you
Sometimes I want to

But I just
Breathe
Cause I know you’re so damn wrong
And it’s been a long time
But you’ve come a long way
And we’re still fine

So I just
Breathe
Cause it’s so exhausting
But this love is lasting
And I just keep in mind

That
Just because we get a little water in our boat
That don’t mean that it’s not gonna float

Yeah
Just because we get a little water in our boat
That don’t mean that it’s not gonna float

To put it plainly

I need you to fight for me, fight for me, fight for me
Show me that you’re here for me, here for me, here for me
They want you to run from me, run from me, run from me
But please stay

Do you hear me?

Please stay x3

Prove to me that
Just because we get a little water in our boat
That don’t mean that it’s not gonna float.
Oh
Just because we get a little water in our boat
That don’t mean that it’s not gonna float.
