Third single from the pop singer-songwriter James McCarthy. "Going Under" visualizes the impending crash of an ending relationship.

lyrics

Lyrics:
Can you love a ghost you never see?
Moving back and forth in front of me
And I feel the wind suddenly
No this isn’t what it used to be

Won’t you tell me honestly
Something that I can believe
Maybe that I’ll never know
The chemicals inside your soul
But it doesn’t matter

We’re going under and I’m holding on to what I can
Lay down your weapons we are going down without a chance
We’re going under and I’m holding on to what I can
What I can
We’re going under again

Now we’re burning up on entry
And you locked the door without a key
Your body got good at pretending
Saying we’re better than we use to be

Won’t you tell me honestly
Something that I can believe
Maybe that I’ll never know
The chemicals inside your soul
But it doesn’t matter

We’re going under and I’m holding on to what I can
Lay down your weapons we are going down without a chance
We’re going under and I’m holding on to what I can
What I can
We’re going under again

Oh, belief is not the same as caving in
Oh, believe me when I say it’s too much
Oh, you can place the blame on me all you want but
Give me something to believe in
Give me something to believe in, cause

We’re going under and I’m holding on to what I can
Lay down your weapons we are going down without a chance
We’re going under and I’m holding on to what I can
Give me something to believe in
Give me something to believe in cause

We’re going under and I’m holding on to what I can
Lay down your weapons we are going down without a chance
We’re going under and I’m holding on to what I can
Give me something to believe in
