Pentatonix's 'Water' is a love song about longing and vulnerability. The singer expresses a deep need for someone's love, comparing it to the essential nature of water. The lyrics convey fear of rejection and a desire to be open about feelings. While the song uses emotional language, it does not reference God, faith, or Christian themes. It is a secular pop song about romantic love.

It's 10 past 2, still up thinking of you
If I showed you all I really want to
Would you stay, dare push me away
I just can't pretend anymore
Timid heart, hide my scars
Make me stronger
I can't take this any longer
I need, I need you like water
It's on the tip of my tongue
I'm not asking for much
Just your love and not another
'Cause your embrace keeps me warmer
Could I tell you this time
How I wish you were mine
My voice cracks, I wait for it to pass
Heart beats fast with words I can't take back
And so I pray I don't drive you away
'Cause I'm scared of what I have to tell you
Timid heart, hide my scars
Make me stronger
I can't take this any longer
I need, I need you like water
It's on the tip of my tongue
I'm not asking for much
Just your love and not another
'Cause your embrace keeps me warmer
Could I tell you this time
How I wish you were mine
Take you higher, take you high
I can make you come alive
Open your eyes, change your mind
I'll take you higher, take you high
I can't take this any longer
I need, I need you like water
It's on the tip of my tongue
I'm not asking for much
Just your love and not another
'Cause your embrace keeps me warmer
Could I tell you this time
How I wish you were mine
How I wish you were mine
How I wish you were mine
