It's complicated, it always is
That's just the way it goes
Feels like I've waited so long for this
I wonder if it shows?

Head under water, now I can't breath
It never felt so good
'Cause I can feel it coming over me
I wouldn't stop it if I could

Give me a reason, I gotta know
Do you feel it too?
Can't you see me here on overload?
And this time I blame you

Oh, looking out for you to hold my hand
It feels like I could fall
Now love me right like I know you can
We could lose it all

When love takes over, yeah
'Cause something's here tonight
