"Water" lyrics

"Water"

Grew up by the ocean
Seekin' out the blue in the shades of grey, like a poem
Or soliloquies, it was only me in a broken home
So I'd spend my nights sitting watching tides ever flowing
Drinking and smoking

A third divorce it rained, it poured
And I got high to feel something
The sea is wild and volatile
I used to live in fear of it

But now I run like water
Let currents pull me far from shore
I anchor down and I swim
In the eyes of my daughter, I'm beautiful
I rise and fall
Like water, like a waterfall
I rise and fall
Like water, like a waterfall
I rise and fall
Like water, like water

Now I live by the river
The water's stained but it couldn't be any clearer
I don't love this town, but I'm here
So I don't have to miss her
Could be guilt 'cause I don't know if I'll be her give her a sister
But I'll love her till the waves pull me under

My ego, I have laid to rest
I resurrect to be something
The sea is wild and volatile
I used to live in fear of it

But now I run like water
Let currents pull me far from shore
I anchor down and I swim
In the eyes of my daughter, I'm beautiful
I rise and fall
Like water, like a waterfall
I rise and fall
Like water, like a waterfall
I rise and fall
Like water, like a waterfall
I rise and fall
Like water, like a waterfall
I rise and fall
Like water, like water
