Undertow

[Intro] I was fine White-knuckle on the shoreline Told myself "This is where the storm dies" [Verse 1] But the sky cracked open over me Heard your name in every crashing wave All the scars I stitched so carefully Started screaming that they wanna break I was steady, I was stone, I was stubborn Building walls I swore you'd never cross You just laughed, kicked sand in my shelter Pulled me closer, told me "count your loss" [Chorus] 'Cause you hit like an undertow in my veins Drag me out where the water turns grey I can't breathe, but I don't wanna escape I don't wanna, I don't wanna escape (no) Every time that you call my name All my dents, all my fractures awake If loving you is a beautiful ache Then I don't wanna, I don't wanna escape [Verse 2] Now I'm back at all the fault lines Talking to the ghosts I used to hide All the nights I stayed in flatline You put color in the black-and-white Every bruise, every break, every bad dream You just trace like constellations, slow Saying, "Look, this is where you survived things" Suddenly I see a way to glow [Chorus] 'Cause you hit like an undertow in my veins Drag me out where the water turns grey I can't breathe, but I don't wanna escape I don't wanna, I don't wanna escape (oh) Every time that you call my name All my dents, all my fractures awake If loving you is a beautiful ache Then I don't wanna, I don't wanna escape [Bridge] Let me fall through the rip and the roar, yeah (hey!) If it’s you on the far side, I’m sure, yeah I was built out of splinters and shame Now I’m breaking just to take your shape If I’m shattered, let it be your face [Chorus] You still hit like an undertow in my veins Drag me out where the water turns grey I can't breathe, but I don't wanna escape I don't wanna, I don't wanna escape Every time that you call my name All my dents, all my fractures awake If loving you is a beautiful ache Then I don't wanna, I don't wanna escape (no)
