[Verse 1]
Say you're there when I feel helpless
If that's true, why don't you help me?
It's my fault, I know I'm selfish
Stand alone, my soul is jealous
It wants love, but I reject it
Trade my joy for my protection
[Chorus]
Grab my hand, I'm drowning
I feel my heart pounding
Why haven't you found me yet?
I hold you so proudly
Traumas, they surround me
I wish you'd just love me back
[Verse 2]
Say you're here, but I don't feel it
Give me peace, but then you steal it
Watch them laugh at all my secrets
Scream and yell, but I feel speechless
Ask for help, you call it weakness
Lied and promised me my freedom
[Chorus]
Grab my hand, I'm drowning
I feel my heart pounding
Why haven't you found me yet?
I hold you so proudly
Traumas, they surround me
I wish you'd just love me back
[Outro]
Grab my hand, I'm drowning
I feel my heart pounding
Why haven't you found me yet?

At first glance, it could be assumed that Nate’s asking God to help him while he’s drowning, but he could also be asking anyone who’s around to help him.
Nate doesn’t necessarily want someone to love him as he wants someone to support him as he goes through his struggles and depression. He wants support.
Love could be a part of it but the need for support through times of trauma is the main message of the song.
