  • Counting days, counting days
    Since my love up and got lost on me
    And every breath that I've been takin'
    Since you left feels like a waste on me
    I've been holding on to hope
    That you'll come back when you can find some peace
    'Cause every word that I've heard spoken
    Since you left, feels like a hollow street

    I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind
    But I hope I never lose the bruises that you left behind
    Oh my Lord, oh my Lord, I need you by my side

    There must be something in the water
    'Cause everyday it's getting colder
    And if only I could hold ya
    You'd keep my head from going under

    Maybe I, maybe I'm just being blinded
    By the brighter side
    Of what we had because it's over
    Well, there must be something in the tide

    I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind
    But I hope I never lose the bruises that you left behind
    Oh my Lord, oh my Lord, I need you by my side

    There must be something in the water
    'Cause everyday it's getting colder
    And if only I could hold ya
    You'd keep my head from going under

    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

    Your love I'm lost in
    It's your love I'm lost in
    Your love I'm lost in
    And I'm tired of being so exhausted
    Your love I'm lost in
    It's your love I'm lost in
    Your love I'm lost in
    Even though I'm nothing to you now
    Even though I'm nothing to you now

    There must be something in the water
    'Cause everyday it's getting colder
    And if only I could hold ya
    You'd keep my head from going under
    There must be something in the water
    'Cause everyday it's getting colder
    And if only I could hold ya
    You'd keep my head from going under Writer/s: James Robert Earp, Lewis Capaldi
