I went to the water's edge, forgot I couldn't swim

I went to the water's edge, all ready to jump in

I saw the water shimmer

I heard the wind howl

I saw my own reflection

I just can't see it now



You say it's the way of the world

To somehow co-exists

That eventually life unfurls

A path to happiness



So I whisper your little secret

And repeat it under my breath

I'll save it for you in my heart

In case we both forget



Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me

I am gripped by a loneliness

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me

I'd be released in your tenderness

I'd be released in your tenderness



I went to the water's edge and saw my life eclipse

I went to the water's edge and then felt myself slip

I dreamed that I was floating, just coast until I grew fins

I want to catch this tide back home and feel you again



Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me

I am gripped by a loneliness

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me

I'd be released in your tenderness

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me

I am gripped by a loneliness

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me

I'd be released in your tenderness

I'd be released in your tenderness

I'd be released in your tenderness
