water

James Arthur

Grew up by the ocean
Seekin 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 sittin
Watchin tides ever flowin
Drinkin and smokin

A third divorce, it rained and poured
And I got high to feel somethin
The sea is wild and volatile, I used to live in fear of it
(Yeah)

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

I rise and fall like water, like a waterfall
I rise and fall like water, like water

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

My ego I have laid to rest
I resurrect to be somethin , hmm
The sea is wild and volatile, I used to live in fear of it
(Yeah)

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

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
