Undertow Lyrics

We've been here before

Waking up on concrete floors

It's not the first time you've had that to answer for

And when I wept

At promises unkept

You lay them on me

You lay them on me

I've got to get out, I've got to find a way

I need a refuge to run and hide

But that red wine smile leads me right back to your bedside

So is it a wonder

Caught in the undertow

The rope I'm clinging to is tearing me asunder

When we share that look

It's true, I might be hooked

One dose of you erases every ill choice I took

But then when I forget

Somebody I just met

They say shame on me

And you blame it on me

I've got to get out, I've got to find a way

I need a refuge to run and hide

But that red wine smile leads me right back to your bedside

So is it a wonder

Caught in the undertow

The rope I'm clinging to is tearing me asunder

It tears me up

I hunger… for you

I'm crawling… to you

It's just a habit; I can quit any time

It's just to help me sleep; is that a crime

But where's my daughter, when'd she get so old

The way she looks at me, with eyes so cold

I've got to get out, I've got to find a way

I need a refuge, forget my pride

That red wine smile leaves me sick right to my insides

So is it a wonder

Caught in the undertow

Release the rope and hear the current like thunder

I'm pulling to the surface again

I'm breathing in the oxygen

Once bitten, twice shy

Twice beaten, two black eyes

So I'm waking up now, to my own surprise
