i saw you down across the water
you're floating safely in the way you do
then i scrammed before you saw me
i've gotta keep thinking you wanted to

by the shoreline
will you be fine
or will it cover you
and when you taste it
will you embrace it
what will you let it do to you

grab a look across the water
we grab a smile and then you're gone a while
with you it'd be across the water
when i'm losing it i like your style

by the shoreline
will you be fine
or will it cover you
and when you taste it
will you embrace it
what will you let it do to you

come on, baby
drive me out of mind
mind if i come home, along with you
and see what you do
this is crazy
and nothing more i want to
see is that the safest place to sit
and be so spacy

scary things across the water
you'd never know till they have their way with you
you won't catch me deep in the water
however much i wanna play with you

don't stay in long
no one's that strong
enough, not to crumble
whenever the water wants you
don't be so crazed
i'm just tryin' to save
you from losing everything you've got
this is no time to rot
don't be fooled by
all the coolness rushing by
don't let it grab your mind
pull out now or you will find
all you strive for
nothing, gone, no more
you're his servant now
