Like the tide to the sea You're coming back to me And I want to believe You are free What if I was to tell you That everything works out fine The things that matter most now Are the first things you'll leave behind And it may seem hard now But it's only a matter of time It takes a thousand wrongs before you even understand what's right The further you swim out to sea The harder it begins to see home The water washes off the sin You're swept up by the undertow What if I was to tell you That everything works out fine The things that matter most now Are the first things you'll leave behind And it may seem hard now But it's only a matter of time It takes a thousand wrongs before you even understand what's right The further you swim out to sea The harder it begins to see home The water washes off the sin You're swept up by the undertow It's as hard as the teeth you've been smiling through I can't tell if you're waving or drowning It's cold out there you'll catch your death I tried to talk couldn't catch my breath Is it you out there? I won't swim for anyone else
