Lyrics of 'Howling' by Noah Kahan

Where to begin?
Oh, let's pretend we never met
So I can disappear a moment
Been trying to swim with both my hands behind my back
My dear, I always feared the ocean
And, somehow, this one word in my mouth that's left unspoken

I won't admit my parents split when I got sick
But I refuse to be a burden
And I said

Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did you find the key and what is the meaning of it?
'Cause honey, sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did I lose my mind and and am I still looking for it?
'Cause I don't know why I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Howling out

You're not alone, the world is small
And I am sick of all the talk of finding purpose
Love comes and goes
But the big black dog, he trails along
Am I the only one who knows him?
And now
And somehow, I gained 15 pounds, but lost my focus
And I suffocate things slow
Until I'm just the black fly circling my bullshit
Oh

Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did you find the key and what is the meaning of it?
'Cause honey, sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did I lose my mind and and am I still looking for it?
I don't know why I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Howling out

Deep blue, deep blue
05072
Deep blue, deep blue
05072

Where to begin?
Oh, let's pretend we never met
So I can disappear a moment
I've been trying to swim with both my hands behind my back
My dear, I always feared the ocean
And I said

Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did you find the key and what is the meaning of this?
'Cause, honey, sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Tell me one thing keeping me here for the minute, honey
But if I leave you now then what's out there waiting for me?
I don't know why I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Howling
