breathe through the top straw
and i'll hold you
between breathes
breathe into my lungs
cry when it hurts too much
the water's high, the water's high
i know, my love
the water's high, the water's high
i know my love
stand, deliver all
yeah and all
the love you get
while i stand on your blue shoulders
and scream into my lungs
yeah, but first, but first
know what you've done
what you done
what you done
and i'll hold you
between breathes
breathe into my lungs
cry when it hurts too much
the water's high, the water's high
i know, my love
the water's high, the water's high
i know my love
stand, deliver all
yeah and all
the love you get
while i stand on your blue shoulders
and scream into my lungs
yeah, but first, but first
know what you've done
what you done
what you done

There's something about the song that seems really "final." I don't know if I'd say that it has anything to do with death, but I get this sense of limited time and impending dread. Something really tragic is going on in this song, but I cant place my finger on it. But it also seems like this is a sort of tender moment between the two people, but... Yeah, there's just too much in this song to really be able to know what's happening or what it means.
