[Verse 1]
If I was not myself
And you were someone else
I'd say so much to you
And I would tell the truth
'Cause I can hardly breathe
When your hands let go of me
The ice is thinning out
And my feet brace themselves

[Chorus 1]
I'm there in the water
Still looking for you
I'm there in the water
Can't you see?
Can't you see?

[Verse 2]
You've seen this all before
A life left on the shore
We're smiling all the same
You sail away again

[Chorus 1]
I'm there in the water
Still looking for you
I'm there in the water
Can't you see?
Can't you see?

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus 2]
(Oh, yeah, I'm dead)
Dead in the water
(I'm dead in the water)
Still looking for you
(Oh, still looking for you, for you)
I'm dead in the water
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
I'm dead in the water
Still looking for you
I'm dead in the water
Can't you see?

[Outro]
I'm dead in the water
Still looking for you
I'm dead in the water
Can't you see?
Can't you see?

Ellie Goulding

Elena Jane “Ellie” Goulding (born 30 December 1986) – is an English singer-songwriter. In 2010, she became the second artist to both top the BBC’s annual Sound of… poll and win the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year, following Adele’s win of both in 2008. Originally her music incorporated elements of folk, pop, electronica, and folktronica.

In July 2009, Goulding signed with Polydor Records, and released her debut EP An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, later that year. Her debut single, “Under The Sheets” was then released in November.

In 2010 Goulding recorded and released her debut record Lights, which spawned four charting singles in the UK, the biggest of which “Starry Eyes” peaked at #4 in the UK and charted in many European countries and Australia.
