Hurts - The Water

Innocent, they swim
I tell them, no
And they just dive right in
But do they know
It's a long way down
When you're alone
And there's no air or sound
Down below
The surface

There's something in the water
I do not feel safe
It always feels like torture
To be this close
I wish that I was stronger
I'd separate the waves
Not just let the water take me away There was a time I'd dip my feet
And it would roll off my skin
Now every time I get close to the edge
I'm scared of falling in
'Cause I don't want to be stranded again
On my own
When the tide comes in
And pulls me below
The surface

There's something in the water
I do not feel safe
It always feels like torture
To be this close
I wish that I was stronger
I'd separate the waves
Not just let the water take me away
