[Verse 1]
Grew up by the ocean
Seeking out the blue in the shades of grey, like a poem
Or soliloquies, it was only me in a broken home
So I’d spend my nights sitting, watching tides ever flowing
Drinking and smoking

[Pre-Chorus]
A third divorce, it rained and poured
And I got high to feel something
The sea is wild and volatile, I used to live in fear of it
(Yeah)
[Chorus]
But now I run like water
Let currents pull me far from shore
I anchor down and I swim
In the eyes of my daughter, I’m beautiful
I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall

[Post-Chorus]
I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall
I rise and fall like water, like water

[Verse 2]
Now I live by the river
The water’s stained, but it couldn’t be any clearer
I don’t love this town, but I’m here so I don’t have to miss her
Could be guilt ’cause I don’t know if I’ll ever give her a sister
But I’ll love her till the waves pull me under

[Pre-Chorus]
My ego I have laid to rest, I resurrect to be something, hmm
The sea is wild and volatile, I used to live in fear of it
(Yeah)

[Chorus]

But now I run like water
Let currents pull me far from shore
I anchor down and I swim
In the eyes of my daughter, I’m beautiful
I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall

[Post-Chorus]
I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall
I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall
I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall
I rise and fall like water, like water
