Lyrics

[PreChorus]
Pressure, tension, I'm pushing, but it's gettin' harder
I'm so close, long road, Lord knows I see it gettin' darker
There's no give, there's bruises, I'm losin', know this is a disaster
When I feel low, I breathe slow and let go, then give it to the water
Give it to the water, eeh
Give it to the water, eeh
[Chorus]
This water keeps me floatin' when I'm straight
This water's gonna tell me, "It's okay"
It's flowin' and it's showin' me the way
Let it fill up the place
The water's gonna wash away the pain
I hear it when it's callin' out my name
It's runnin' and it's floodin' through my veins
Let it fill up the place
[Verse 1]
Hmm-hmm-hmm
Just focus, the process will show us how to move forward
You look 'round, it's too loud, the big crowd, but that isn't important
[PreChorus]
There's no give, there's bruises, I'm losin', know this is a disaster
When I feel low, I breathe slow and let go, then give it to the water
Give it to the water, eeh
Give it to the water, eeh
[Chorus]
This water keeps me floatin' when I'm straight
The water's gonna tell me, "It's okay"
It's flowin' and it's showin' me the way
Let it fill up the place
The water's gonna wash away the pain
I hear it when it's callin' out my name
It's runnin' and it's floodin' through my veins
Let it fill up the place
[Instrumental]
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-hmm
I hold on to the water
It saves me from the horrors that come
No wonder I am stronger
Oh, woah, oh-oh
It's feedin' my hunger
It's keepin' me under
The water runneth over
Oh, woah, oh-oh
[Chorus]
This water keeps me floatin' when I'm straight
The water's gonna tell me, "It's okay"
It's flowin' and it's showin' me the way
Let it fill up the place
The water's gonna wash away the pain
I hear it when it's callin' out my name
It's runnin' and it's floodin' through my veins
Let it fill up the place
