I held my breath so long
The silence sounded holy
I kept your name like a bruise
Kept it close, kept it on me
I became the saint of the flood
Kneeling where your shadow was
Heaven never came for us
So I learned to breathe the water
If loving you means I drown
Pull me deeper now
Crown me like the rising tide
I'll wear the waves like halos tonight
If loving you means I drown
Let me go under slow
I'll stay where your echo lives
I'd rather break than let you go
I left the door unlatched for ghosts
Kept the basin full of night
Every mirror held your outline
Every heartbeat took your side
I let the deep blue take my hands
Let it write you through my veins
If the dark can keep you near me
I can learn to love the pain
I became the saint of the flood
Kneeling where your shadow was
Heaven never came for us
So I learned to breathe the water
If loving you means I drown
Pull me deeper now
Crown me like the rising tide
I'll wear the waves like halos tonight
If loving you means I drown
Let me go under slow
I'll stay where your echo lives
I'd rather break than let you go
I can climb out
I can breathe clean air
I could live like I never knew your name
But I still hear
That cold blue call
And I answer like a flame in rain
If loving you means I drown
Pull me deeper now
Crown me like the rising tide
I'll wear the waves like halos tonight
If loving you means I drown
Let me go under slow
I held your shadow in my bones
And I chose the water over home
