lyrics

down in the ocean, you can't see too far
is that a shark, or a dolphin?
& up here on land, I don't know what you are
& that's why I'm scared to go all-in

my gear is protective; I'm very selective
sorry to be such a heartbreak detective
no, you're not defective, & it's all subjective
but since I got hurt, I've been far more reflective

CHORUS:
so forgive me for sayin' you're not the safest bet
are you real, or are you playin'? well I just don't know yet
& mystery, sure, it can thrill me
but mystery also might kill me
so yes, I am sorry; you know how I get
forgive me for sayin' you're not the safest bet

maybe I'm paranoid; maybe I'm crazy
maybe reality's not what it seems
but when the horizon is horribly hazy
I've just gotta chase what I taste in my dreams

& all of us crumble & fuck up & stumble
& that's why we all have to keep ourselves humble
but facing a question is always a lesson
I guess that I like how you keep me guessin'

(repeat chorus)

& what would it take to make you safe in my eyes?
it's almost like trust is just a muscle to exercise

(repeat chorus)
