Undertow
Lyrics
You come in warm like evening water
I know your weight, I know your shine
I've been swimming out to meet you
Every night since I was nine
And the shore gets small behind me
And I tell myself I'll turn
But your current knows my name now
And it never has to learn
Deeper's easy
Deeper's kind
Deeper never
Asks for time
Undertow
Take me slow
Undertow
I know, I know
Warm below
Sweet and low
Don't let go
Don't let go
You're the softest thing that owns me
You're the deep end of my head
You're the reason I stop swimming
Floating backwards works instead
And I love you like the drowning
Love the arms of it, the hush
But a man can love the water
And still notice it's too much
Deeper's easy
Deeper's kind
Deeper's quietly
Taking mine
Undertow
Take me slow
Undertow
I know, I know
Warm below
Sweet and low
Don't let go
Don't let go
How far down is down
How long is slow
My lungs are asking questions now
Breathe
I forgot that I could breathe
Kick
I remember how to leave
Undertow
I love you so
Undertow
But I let go
I rise slow
Warm above
Sweet and low
The surface glows
Still yours, water
From the shore
Still yours
From the shore
