Under the waves 
Deep in the drift 
I can feel the salt upon my skin 
Under the waves 
Falling away 
I no longer see the rings of rain 


I want to feel it 
If just to know it's true 
Love me always 
It's just a surface wound 
Don't pay to fight it 
Can't change the color blue 
All I wanted was to impress you 

Under the waves 
Caught in a dream 
Lover, can you hear me breathing? 
Under the waves 
Now that I'm giving in 


I want to feel it 
If just to know it's true 
Love me always 
It's just a surface wound 
Don't pay to fight it 
Can't change the color blue 
All I wanted was to impress you 

And if I catch myself crying 
For things I cannot control 
I'll head on back to the water 
Where tears are invisible 


Under the waves 
I know who I am 
I don't need to spin the story 
Under the waves 
Down in the deep 
I no longer see the rings of rain
