Water
Sam Clines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was supposed to aid your bleeding
Too many words sit on my chest
But I am an addict if this feeling
Girl I need to float up
Cus I don’t want to feel this low
Just tell me if I messed up
Is there something in the water?
Because it’s pulling me under
Is there something in the water?
Because it’s pulling me under
Where is the company I’m craving
I could have sworn you were my able
And I’ve tried far too many times to give you up
But letting you go brings out my evil
Girl I need to float up
Cus I don’t want to feel this low
Just tell me if I messed up
Cus I don’t know which way to go
Is there something in the water?
Because it’s pulling me under
Is there something in the water?
Because it’s pulling me under
If I could have a choice in what we face
Girl you know that I would choose the easy way
Just save me now cus I keep falling off the page
I’ve only got myself to blame
Is there something in the, is there something in the water?
Is there something in the, is there something in the water?
Is there something in the, is there something in the water?
Is there something in the, is there something in water
Is there something in the water
Because it’s pulling me under
Is there something in the water
Because it’s pulling me under
The lyrics of Sam Clines's song 'Water' tell a story of a person who is struggling with addiction to a feeling, possibly love, and is trying to find a way to come up for air. The first stanza tells of the person's frustration with the lack of communication from their partner, who has left without a note. This absence is exacerbating the singer's addiction to the feeling of love, which they liken to an addiction to a drug.
The second stanza shifts the focus to the singer's need for company to help them with their struggles, but they can't seem to let go of their partner. This addiction to love is bringing out the singer's dark side, and they are struggling to keep afloat. The chorus asks the question of whether there is something in the water that is pulling them under. The water here could be a metaphor for the difficulties and challenges of life that the singer is trying to navigate without any support.
In the third and final stanza, the singer expresses their desire for an easier path, but knows that they only have themselves to blame for their struggles. The repeated chorus reinforces the idea that there is something in the water that is responsible for their difficulties.

Where was the note to say you left?
I expected a notification from you before you disappeared
I was supposed to aid your bleeding
I was meant to help you heal your wounds
Too many words sit on my chest
I have too much to say that’s weighing me down
But I am an addict if this feeling
I can’t help but be addicted to this sensation
Girl I need to float up
I need to rise above my problems
Cus I don't want to feel this low
Because I don't want to feel this way
Just tell me if I messed up
Please inform me if I made a mistake
Cus I don't know which way to go
Because I’m unsure of where to go from here
Is there something in the water?
Is there something causing my problems?
Because it's pulling me under
Because it’s dragging me down
Where is the company I'm craving
I'm missing the companionship I need
I could have sworn you were my able
I thought you were capable of helping me
And I’ve tried far too many times to give you up
I’ve attempted to let you go many times
But letting you go brings out my evil
But doing so makes me feel terrible
If I could have a choice in what we face
If I could choose what happens to us
Girl you know that I would choose the easy way
I’d pick the path of least resistance
Just save me now cus I keep falling off the page
Please rescue me because I keep losing track of things
I've only got myself to blame
I take full responsibility for my predicament
Is there something in the, is there something in the water?
Is there anything making my problems worse?
Is there something in the, is there something in the water?
Is there something I'm missing?
Is there something in the, is there something in the water?
Could there be a hidden cause to my situation?
Is there something in the, is there something in the water
Could there be something that's affecting me?
Is there something in the water
There must be a cause to my situation
Because it's pulling me under
It's causing me to sink
