Tread Water Lyrics
[Intro: Alex Gaskarth]
How long can we tread water?
How long can we stay afloat?
[Verse 1: Alex Gaskarth]
You loved me like a broken record
Skipping through your favorite verse
You’re dancing under something better
For somebody that knows your worth
[Pre-Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
I, I’m just an echo, yeah
I, I’m just a wave crashing
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
How long can we tread water? (Oh, oh)
How long can we stay afloat? (Can we stay afloat?)
You wanna swim, you gotta learn to let go
‘Cause if you hold me any longer, yeah, you know
We’ll sink like a stone
[Post-Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
We’ll sink like a stone
[Verse 2: Ruston Kelly]
I never meant to break that promise
I never meant to let you down
You thought that I was something different
It’s funny how it all played out, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Ruston Kelly & Alex Gaskarth]
I, I’m just your lifeboat (Lifeboat)
But I capsized in your wave (Your wave)
Crashing
[Chorus: Ruston Kelly & Alex Gaskarth]
How long can we tread water? (How long, how long?)
Yeah, how long can we stay afloat? (How long, how long?)
You wanna swim, you gotta learn to let go
‘Cause if you hold me any longer, yeah, you know
We’ll sink like a stone
[Bridge: Alex Gaskarth]
Now nothing I could say is gonna change the way it was (Oh-oh)
The tide can’t wash away the memory of us
And while the search and rescue’s circling the boat
I’d give you the last breath of air from my lungs (Oh)
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth & Ruston Kelly, Alex Gaskarth]
How long can we tread water?
How long can we stay afloat?
You wanna swim, you gotta learn to let go
‘Cause if you hold me any longer, yeah, you know (We’ll sink like a stone)
If you hold me any longer, yeah, you know
We’ll sink like a stone
[Post-Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
We’ll sink like a stone

Tread Water Lyrics Meaning
[Intro: Alex Gaskarth]
It’s about feeling unsure how long they can keep their relationship going without it falling apart.
[Verse 1: Alex Gaskarth]
The singer feels like their love is repetitive and one-sided, while the other person is moving on to someone who truly values them.
[Pre-Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
The singer feels small and powerless, like just an echo or a wave that crashes and fades.
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
They’re asking how long they can keep their relationship going while holding on. They realize that if they don’t let go when needed, their connection will fail completely, like sinking, because staying stuck together too tightly will only hurt both of them.
[Post-Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
The relationship will collapse if they keep holding on.
[Verse 2: Ruston Kelly]
The singer regrets breaking promises and disappointing the other person. Things didn’t turn out as expected, and they feel a mix of guilt and disbelief at how the relationship unfolded.
[Pre-Chorus: Ruston Kelly & Alex Gaskarth]
They see themselves as a lifeboat meant to help, but even that support has been overwhelmed and lost in the other person’s emotions.
[Chorus: Ruston Kelly & Alex Gaskarth]
They keep questioning how long they can survive in this troubled relationship. Both realize that to move forward, letting go is necessary, otherwise their bond will sink completely under pressure.
[Bridge: Alex Gaskarth]
No words can fix the past, and memories of the relationship linger. Even with help around, the singer would give everything for the other person, showing deep care despite the impossibility of saving what’s gone.
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth & Ruston Kelly, Alex Gaskarth]
They’re again struggling with how long they can hold on without collapsing. Letting go is essential, because clinging too tightly will ruin everything. They know their connection is fragile and cannot survive if they keep holding each other the wrong way.
[Post-Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
The relationship can’t survive under this strain.
