The Water

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
