Cold Here in the Water
Written by Mark Sholtez & Adam Tressler

I just called to say hi
And hey, what’s the weather like
We trade in small talk and little white lies
As we try to hide what the silence implies

Are we in over our heads
How long can we kick our legs
How long can we hold our breath
How much time do we have left
It’s cold here
It’s cold here in the water

I hear a change in your tone
I know you wish I was home
But you’re not the only one who feels alone
I miss you more than you know

Are we in over our heads
How long can we kick our legs
How long can we hold our breath
How much time do we have left
It’s cold here
It’s cold here in the water

I can feel you drifting
The days increase the distance
And I don’t want to do this

Are we in over our heads
How long can we kick our legs
How long can we hold our breath
How much time do we have left
It’s cold here
It’s cold here in the water
It’s cold here in the water
