Trouble, blood is in the rocky waters
Hide away your sons and daughters, eat you alive
Levels, better put your head on swivels
Dancing with the very devil, butter to knife
You think you're better than them, better than them
You think they're really your friends, really your friends
But when it comes to the end, to the end
You're just the same as them, same as them
So, let it go, let it go, that's the way that it goes
First, you're in, then you're out, everybody knows
You're hot, then you're cold, you're a light in the dark
Just you wait, and you'll see that you're swimming with sharks
He's comin' to get you
Chick-chicka-whoop-whoop
He's comin' to get you, get you
Chicka-whoop
Bubbles, drowning, you're seeing doubles
Don't you let them see your struggles, hiding your tears
Crisis, take advantage of your niceness
Cut you up in even slices, prey on your fears
You think you're better than them, better than them (you think you're better than them)
You think they're really your friends, really your friends (really your friends)
But when it comes to the end, to the end (oh, no)
You're just the same as them, same as them
So, let it go, let it go, that's the way that it goes (let it go)
First, you're in, then you're out, everybody knows (first, you're in, then you're out)
You're hot, then you're cold, you're a light in the dark
Just you wait, and you'll see that you're swimming with sharks
(My blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you
(Don't take it from me) chicka-whoop-whoop
(My blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you
(Don't take it from me) get you
(My-my blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you
(Don't take it from me) chicka-whoop-whoop
(My blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you
(Don't take it from me) get you
Every time my heart is beatin', I can feel the recipe
I wonder if my day is comin', blame it on the entropy
My blood is pumpin', I can see the end is right in front of me
Don't take it from me, I could be everythin', everything
(Sharks)
Don't take it from me
Blood is pumping, my blood is pumping (sharks)
Don't take it from me, I could be everythin', everything
So, let it go, let it go, that's the way that it goes (let it go)
First, you're in, then you're out, everybody knows (first, you're in, then you're out)
You're hot, then you're cold, you're a light in the dark
Just you wait, and you'll see that you're swimming with sharks
(My-my blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you
(Don't take it from me) chicka-whoop-whoop
(My blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you
(Don't take it from me) get you
(My-my blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you
(Don't take it from me)
(My blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you
(Don't take it from me) get you
