Knee deep in the water
Try to fight what fights back harder
All these things I can't control
Bringing up what's down below
I can't help but wonder
Why I always go back under
All these things I can't control
It's so cyclical
So cyclical
I'm the prey, never the hunter
Felt the need to run for cover
All these things I can't control
Are we born to die alone?
Thought I heard the thunder
And somehow it brought me comfort
All these things I can't control
I'm gonna ride the wave
Let it guide the way
I used to think that drowning was the only way to breathe
Now I just pretend that I have everything I need
There's a comfort in the quiet
There's a calm without the storm
I've come to terms with getting older
Now that I'm not keeping score
And if I don't wake up tomorrow
There's not a thing I would regret
Yeah, I used to feel hollow till I got this off my chest
I'm gonna ride the wave
Let it guide the way
I used to think that drowning was the only way to breathe
Now I just pretend that I have everything I need
I'm gonna ride the wave
Let it guide the way
'Cause life is just a game and I never learned to cheat
Maybe this world's better without
