Undertow

Intro — Rhodes, ocean-like pad, vocal chop

Undertow...

Pulling me back...

Undertow...

Pulling me back...

Verse 1

I deleted every trace of you

Then your name appeared in blue

One little message, one little light

And the whole room lost its fight

I told my friends I'm doing well

But they can't hear the stories I don't tell

How every quiet night I drown

In the sound of you coming around

Pre-drop

I know the water's cold

I know it pulls me under

But your voice is a current

And I keep going under

Chorus / Drop vocal

Undertow, you pull me in

Every time I think I'm free again

I'm standing on the shore, then I'm gone

Dragged beneath where I don't belong

Undertow, I can't let go

You're the tide I know, the pain I know

If loving you is losing ground

Then let the water take me down

Verse 2

You only call me when the night gets long

When your new life doesn't feel like home

And I hate that I still pick up fast

Like the future's hiding in your past

We were never built to last

Just a beautiful storm, moving fast

But I keep chasing what remains

Of your name inside my veins

Breakdown — piano and sub only

If I let you go...

Will the water still know my name?

If I turn away...

Will I feel you calling just the same?

Build

Pulling me back...

Pulling me back...

I know the water's cold...

But I keep going under...
