The Exchange Lyrics - Sprinter - Torres

My mother lost her mother twice 

Once in '54, then later in life 

The exchange was quick and quiet 

The records sealed, the names made private 

Her search began and ended with a judge 

Her papers had been claimed in a freak basement flood 

An entire family tree 

An eternal privacy 

Underwater 

Underwater 

I am afraid to see my heroes age 

I am afraid of disintegration 

If you're not here, I cannot be here for you 

If you're not here, I cannot be alone 

Mother, father 

I'm underwater 

And I don't think you can pull me out of this

The Best Performances From The 2017 Billboard Music Awards 

There's virgin oil painted over my door 

And hotel soap from every city 

Lined up in my window 

Blew my per diem on an eighth of Blue Dream 

So I can breathe but I still can't breathe 

Around my mouth, brown paper bag 

Founding fathers on my back 

I'm no martyr 

I'm no martyr 

I'm just 

Afraid to see my heroes age 

I am afraid of disintegration 

If you're not here, I cannot be here for you 

If you're not here, I cannot be alone 

Mother, father 

I'm underwater 

Underwater 

Underwater 

Photos 

I've so much that I want to sing 

But there's no room for toothbrushes and poetry, I 

Pray to Jesus Christ incessantly, I 

Shine my shoes for the Fat Lady, I'm still 

Underwater 

I'm underwater 

Underwater 

Underwater 

I am afraid to see my heroes age 

I am afraid of disintegration 

If you're not here, I cannot be here for you 

If you're not here, I cannot be alone 

Mother, father 

I'm underwater 

And I don't think you can pull me out of this 

I will no longer claim to know 

Where we go when it's time to go 

But when you go, will I go too? 

When you go, I am going too 

I'm underwater 

I'm underwater 

Mother, father 

I'm underwater 

I'm underwater 

I'm underwater 

Mother, father 

I'm underwater
