[Verse 1]
Underwater
Consuming all my kind, destined for alterations
And my mind ain't aligned for her daughter
I know I'm Mother Earth, I see the weather
So I'm not gonna cover up the freckles on my faces
I covered all the bases
[Chorus]
Follow me to my bed
'Cause every time you fall, I'll be holdin' your head up
And when will you get tired of feeling bad?
And every time you fall, follow me
Follow me to my bed
'Cause every time you fall, I'll be holdin' your head up
And when will you get tired of feeling bad?
And every time you fall, follow me
[Verse 2]
He's so hollow
My baby mated blind until he wasted fate
And so I'm left behind until he cursed my sorrow
But I know, I'm Mother Earth, I see the weather
So I won't let you pull up in all my safest places
I covered all the bases
[Chorus]
Follow me to my bed
'Cause every time you fall, I'll be holdin' your head up
And when will you get tired of feeling bad?
And every time you fall, follow me
Follow me to my bed
'Cause every time you fall, I'll be holdin' your head up
And when will you get tired of feeling bad?
And every time you fall, follow me
