Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Saw you down across the water
You're floating safely in the way you do
Then I scrammed before you saw me
I've gotta keep thinking you wanna to
By the shoreline, will you be fine
Or will it cover you
And when you taste it, do you embrace it
What will you let it do
We grab a look across the water
We grab a smile and then you're gone a while
With you it'd be across the water
When I'm losing it I like your style
By the shoreline, will you be fine
Or will it cover you
And when you taste it, do you embrace it
What will you let it do to you
Come on, baby
Drive me out of my mind
If I come home alone with you
And see what you do
This is crazy
And nothing more I want to see
Is that the safest place to sit
And be so spacy
Scary things across the water
You'd never know
Till they have their way with you
You won't catch me deep in the water
However much I wanna play with you
Don't stay in long
No one's that strong
Enough not to crumble
Whenever the water wants you
Don't be so crazed
I'm just tryin' to save
You from losing everything you're got
This is no time to rot
Don't be fooled by
All the coolness rushing by
Don't let it grab your mind
Pull out now or you will find
All you strive for
Nothing, gone, no more
You're his servant now
