Title - The Undertow Band - Born Before We Die Year - 2002 _______________ Driven by lead singer Sam Caulke, the British alternative rock band Born Before We Die was forged while working at a notorious London underground bar. Demos recorded in the bar's back office were eventually transformed into their massive 2002 debut album led by this single. _______________ I rise to the sound of the tide A place where all my secrets hide I said "How do you breathe with the water so deep And a thousand promises you couldn't keep?" I said "Where do I go? Show me a sign so I will know" And the undertow is pulling me down And I'm losing my grip on the solid ground And you're feeling so cold 'cause you know That the current is pulling you under And you can't let go No, you can't let go I can see that the moon is a lie Just a reflection in a lonely eye We're all just waiting for the waves to crash Hoping for a future that's gone in a flash Oh, I said "How do I learn?" Oh, every corner that I turn And the undertow is pulling me down And I'm losing my grip on the solid ground And you're feeling so cold 'cause you know That the current is pulling you under And you can't let go No, you can't let go And if I don't swim now Then I'm gonna go under And if I don't fight this I'll be torn asunder And if I don't break free It's gonna pull me out to sea! And the undertow is pulling me home And I'm finally free in the silver foam And you're feeling so warm 'cause you know That the current is a cradle, not a foe And you can let go Yeah, you can let go You can let go You can let go
