Hurts - The Water lyrics

Innocent, they swim i tell them 'no'
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
