Open Water Lyrics by Stop.drop.rewind

2019

Used to dream the way a nervous child would dream
Not what I'd done but what I thought I was about to
In your dreams there's no one to doubt you
I conceived a world of rivers, lakes, and streams
You leave the shore, or the current flows without you

Can't always reap what you put the plow to
(Now the current's gone)
You can't explain what you don't know how to

I'm not afraid of the open water, open water
I used to call the coast my home
I'd spend my days on the open water, open water
If I still spent my time alone

Pull me like changing tides, and I'm going under
Too tired to tow my line
Let me up
Unless it seems too late to change my mind
I've got a sinking feeling you'll pull me like changing tides
And I'm going under

Used to be such an elegant machine
To spend my time creating symmetry
Used to seem such a simple song to me
To commit my life to such festivity, winter imagery
What it means to need a break from your routine
The thing that lifts me up is what is wrong with me
What is wrong with me?

Can't always reap what you put the plow to
I do the only thing I know how to

I'm not afraid of the open water
I've spent so much time alone

Pull me like changing tides, and I'm going under
Too tired to tow my line
Let me up
Unless it seems too late to change my mind
I've got a sinking feeling you'll pull me like changing tides
And I'm going under

I'd wade through all my days to fill in all the cracks
Every look that meant "dial it back"
Morning now, there's no returning
Water surface, sunrise burning
I'm not ashamed
I'd wade through all my days and still never face it
I'll be afraid until the day I am reclaimed by the open water
The open water
I'd wade through all my days to fill in all the cracks
Every look that meant "dial it back"
Morning now, there's no returning
Water surface, sunrise burning
I'm not ashamed
I'd wade through all my days and still never face it
I'll be afraid until the day I am reclaimed by the open water
The open water

Pull me like changing tides, and I'm going under
Too tired to tow my line
Let me up
Unless it seems too late to change my mind
I've got a sinking feeling you'll pull me like changing tides
And I'm going under
I'm going under
