Innocent, they swim
I tell them ´no´
They just dive right in
But do they know?

It´s a long way down
When you´re alone
And there´s no air or sound
Down below the surface

There´s something in the water
I do not feel safe
It always feels like torture
To be this close

I wish that I was stronger
I´d separate the waves
Not just let the water
Take me away

There was a time I´d dip my feet
And it would roll off my skin
Now every time I get close to the edge
I´m scared of falling in

´Cause I don´t want to be stranded again
On my own
When the tide comes in
And pulls me below the surface

There´s something in the water
I do not feel safe
It always feel like torture
To be this close

I wish that I was stronger
I´d separate the waves
Not just let the water take me away
