Innocent they swim 
I tell them no 
And they just dive right in 
But do they know 

It's a long way dawn 
When you're alone 
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 in again 
On my own 
When the [bad word] in 
And pulls me 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
