This sweeping and haunting track reads like a poisoned love song, but according to Ferreira it taps into her fear of lakes. You leave me open when you hit me No one can hear me, then you hurt me Just say that you're not going down there too I can see that you want me going downhill too Ferreria told Pitchfork that "lakes kind of terrify" her. She explained that if you look at the bottom of a lake "it's murky" and yet "you can't really see anything or feel anything." If you do see or feel something it "feels like something will grab you and pull you under."
The song was produced by Twin Peaks music supervisor Dean Hurley and also features a yearning undercurrent of strings from Danish violinist Nils Gröndahl. When giving direction to Gröndahl, Ferreira said she gave him the following note: "Play it as if you're one of the birds in Snow White, singing underwater, while slowly being suffocated by plastic."
