Back to the Water

Back to the Water Verse 1 The ocean’s soothing, but it’s too far away So I grow a desert in my heart Everything here is brown and breaking Like it’s been falling apart I remember sand, I remember salt Like it happened to someone else I keep my mouth full of all that I miss And call it taking care of myself Pre-Chorus I keep walking toward the shoreline But I never leave the room Chorus Take me back to the water Take me back to the blue Everywhere is the middle of nowhere Till I get back to you I keep circling the same dry ground Trying to remember how to move Take me back to the water I don’t know what else to do Verse 2 I’ve got a pocket full of old goodbyes And a head full of almosts and when Golden beaches in my rearview mirror Like a past I can’t step in I want thunder at the edge of the world I want weather I can feel I’m tired of living in careful weather I want something real Pre-Chorus I keep saying I’m fine where I’m standing But I know that’s not true Chorus Take me back to the water Take me back to the blue Everywhere is the middle of nowhere Till I get back to you I keep circling the same dry ground Trying to remember how to move Take me back to the water I don’t know what else to do Bridge Maybe I’m not lost, maybe I’m just stalled Maybe I’m afraid of the tide Maybe I learned how to live in the waiting And forgot how to dive Final Chorus Take me back to the water Take me back to the blue Everywhere is the middle of nowhere Till I get back to you I keep circling the same dry ground Trying to remember how to move Take me back to the water I don’t know what else to do Outro Back to the water
