Water

Grew up by the oceanSeekin' out the blue in the shades of grey, like a poemOr soliloquies, it was only me in a broken homeSo I'd spend my nights sittin'Watchin' tides ever flowin'Drinkin' and smokin'A third divorce, it rained and pouredAnd I got high to feel somethin'The sea is wild and volatile, I used to live in fear of it(Yeah)But now I run like waterLet currents pull me far from shoreI anchor down and I swimIn the eyes of my daughter, I'm beautifulI rise and fall like water, like a waterfallI rise and fall like water, like a waterfallI rise and fall like water, like waterNow I live by the riverThe water's stained, but it couldn't be any clearerI don't love this townbut I'm here so I don't have to miss herCould be guilt 'cause I don't knowif I'll ever give her a sisterBut I'll love her till the waves pull me underMy ego I have laid to restI resurrect to be somethin', hmmThe sea is wild and volatile, I used to live in fear of it(Yeah)But now I run like waterLet currents pull me far from shoreI anchor down and I swimIn the eyes of my daughter, I'm beautifulI rise and fall like water, like a waterfallI rise and fall like water, like a waterfallI rise and fall like water, like a waterfallI rise and fall like water, like a waterfallI rise and fall like water, like water
