i'm not really sure what this song means.. but i do liek the first line about either dipping your toe, or you're drowning. I guess that means that she is either too scared to try, or tried too hard and is "drowing" i'm not really sure what that means, but i like the similie.. i think?

i think the whole thing is just about being scared to try something. Contemplating whether its wiser to stay silent or risk raising your voice only not to be heard. I've had that thought before.

I think it's about being scared and afraid to love someone.
