Lyrics

[Intro]
I’m a little late, ah-ah, ah-ah
Get you water for the wait, ah-ah, ah-ah

[Verse 1]
I dabble in the past, yeah, I said it
I finally admit it
I told you it was over then I skinny-dipped and did it
I should’ve known better but I didn’t overthink it
And I probably would’ve floated but I sank it
Took a dive in the deep and forgot to move
Swam with the fish ’til my kiss turn blue
I aired out my sheets ’cause they smell like you
I cleaned out the salt in my wounds

[Chorus]
And I’m a little late (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), ah-ah, ah-ah
Get you water for the wait (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), ah-ah, ah-ah
Take you out onto the lake (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), ah-ah, ah-ah
Then I’ll let you swim away (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), ah-ah, yeah-yeah

[Verse 2]
I step on every crack, give me credit
Your ego, never fed it
My legs just caught a cold and so I didn’t wanna spread it
You told me if I tried to walk away I would regret it
Maybe if I didn’t swim, I would’ve sweat it
Used to read every story ’bout me and you
Checked out your book, now it’s overdue
I tried to return ’cause I’m over you
I cleaned out the salt in my wounds

[Chorus]
And I’m a little late (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), ah-ah, ah-ah
Get you water for the wait (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), ah-ah, ah-ah
Take you out onto the lake (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), ah-ah, ah-ah
Then I’ll let you swim away (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), ah-ah, yeah-yeah

[Bridge]
Actin’ like you know me
Instead of trying to show me
Say you praise my body
I could love somebody else
Better if I was lonely
Justified to hold me
Maybe if I was the only
Better if I would’ve known better

[Chorus]
And I’m a little late (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), ah-ah, ah-ah
Get you water for the wait (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), ah-ah, ah-ah
Take you out onto the lake (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), ah-ah, ah-ah
Then I’ll let you swim away (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah), ah-ah, yeah-yeah

[Outro]
Mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
