Lyrics
0:10Grew up by the ocean
0:13Seekin' out the blue in the shades of grey like a poem
0:18Or soliloquies it was only me in a broken home
0:24So I'd spend my nights sitting watching tides ever flowing
0:29Drinking and smoking
0:33A third divorce it rained it poured
0:35And I got high to feel something
0:44The sea is wild and volatile
0:46I used to live in fear of it
0:55But now I run like water
0:59Let currents pull me far from shore
1:03I anchor down and I swim
1:07In the eyes of my daughter I'm beautiful
1:12I rise and fall
1:14Like water like a waterfall
1:17I rise and fall
1:20Like water like a waterfall
1:23I rise and fall
1:25Like water like water
1:32Now I live by the river
1:36The water's stained but it couldn't be any clearer
1:41I don't love this town but I'm here
1:43So I don't have to miss her
1:47Could be guilt 'cos I don't know if I'll be her give her a sister
1:51But I'll love her till the waves pull me under
1:55My ego I have laid to rest
1:58I resurrect to be something
2:06The sea is wild and volatile
2:09I used to live in fear of it
2:18But now I run like water
2:21Let currents pull me far from shore
2:26I anchor down and I swim
2:29In the eyes of my daughter I'm beautiful
2:35I rise and fall
2:37Like water like a waterfall
2:40I rise and fall
2:43Like water like a waterfall
2:45I rise and fall
2:48Like water like a waterfall
2:51I rise and fall
2:54Like water like a waterfall
2:56I rise and fall
2:59Like water like 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 'cos 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
