“Going Under” is the penultimate track off of Wallows' third studio album, ‘Model’. The lyrics illustrate the story of someone who is afraid of the outcomes of the relationship that they are in. The song covers themes of feeling insecure in a relationship, self-destruction and self-insecurity.
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm scared of goin' under
Thinkin' that it's over
With you
Now my head has hit the pavement
You've been isolating
Slowing down
[Verse 1]
I hope it's better this year
Tell me what I wanna hear
You hold it down when I can't speak
You hold it down
Just wake me up when it's over
My headache shows when it's sober
My heart, it races
Can barely face it
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm scared of goin' under
If it's almost over
With you
Now my head has hit the pavement
I've been oscillating
Spinning 'round
[Bridge]
Now I don't know where I'm turnin'
Every step's a new end, no way out
[Verse 2]
I sense it every night
This feeling that I'll disregard
All that we are and say goodbye
But you know I will never leave
Just give me time to think, woo
And figure out how I let it get this far
Now you're screaming that you'll lose it all, ooh
I'm so sure that we'll make it out once more
And prove to you, woo
That you are more than I could ever need
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm scared of goin' under
If it's ever over
With you
Now my head has hit the pavement
Just got to be patient
Take our time
