The Undertow Lyrics

Destiny hasn't got its hold on me
And I can also set you free but I can't unbind the unwilling so unwind
Relax, and let me take the wheel for now
I promise I won't hurt you how could I undermine undisputed peace of mind

And I won't take my chances on the Undertow
Let it wash us away before either of us knows
If our lives are set in stone to be alone
And I'll take my chances on my confidence
And the part of you that still knows best
I'm begging you to let down your defense
And forget the rest

My, oh, my
How the ocean's lunar tides lead us to our own demise
Fate is like a spell, often casting us through hell
Is this how you want to live
only taking what life gives
Don't you want me there to tell you that ocean's just a well

I'm out to prove
There's more than just the ocean left to choose
I can take you to dry land if you'd like me to
And there I swear I'll always care for you (care for you)

If this is where the story ends
I'll rewrite it again and again
Until my wearisome pen runs dry from the hope that has kept me alive for so long
Wondering if you're really gone
It's a blessing and a curse to know you're right and the world is wrong

Destiny, stay the hell away from me
I know what is meant to be but I won't abide without this girl by my side
