Under The Wave
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.
Spinning out of reach of love
I don't know what to do about it
So afraid you open up
But I don't wanna be alone tonight
Holding on for dear life
The waiting 'til it washes over
Scared of when the rush is calm
Will I even make it out alive?
Helpless, I drift from love
Helpless, I drift from love
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
I am out of my depth
I go under again
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
and I 'm out of my depth
I go under the wave
oh, oh oh, ooh oh oh
oh, oh oh, ooh oh oh
Sugar ain't no cure for love
But someone's got to save me from it
Tell me when it knocks me down
Why I always fall so hard each time
Helpless, I drift from love
Helpless, I drift from love
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
I am out of my depth
I go under again
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
and I'm out of my depth
I go under the wave
