both hands making for something in the water
sinking like a hopeless endeavor to the bottom
everyone was saying there's nothing left to save
but i'll be running 'til the end of my days
you don't believe me, here we go
now we're living under the waves, we're living under the waves
nobody ever escapes the ugly undertow
there's no use making excuses in the water
heaven only knows that i tried, i couldn't stop her
even when you're with them, i swear they never listen
every time i tried to give her a hand, she never took it from me, no
now we're living under the waves, we're living under the waves
nobody ever escapes the ugly undertow.
but i would never hit her, i swear i never did
if i would have seen her sinking, i would have pulled her in
i was under the impression her feet were in the sand
if you want me to repeat it, i'd say the same again
but i won't back down, i won't back down
and you can interrogate me; there's nothing you can prove
everybody's stuck in their ways, determined never to face the implicated
no matter what you do
it's one foot in the water, yeah
both feet in the waves, yeah
