Undertow Songtext
von Dawson Cowals

Well, everyone thinks that they
They can handle it
Right up until the time
Where it all comes down
To will they sink or swim
Or will they drown

So you dip your toe
The water feels just fine
Wade a bit further out
Still have plenty of time
To head back in to shore
Better head back in now
Or you might drown

Warning undertow
You think you′re doing fine
But you crossed that line
A long time ago
Warning undertow


Swimming along
Thinking everything's great
While it sits beneath the waves
And silently waits
For you to ignore the signs
Warning undertow
(How far will you go?)

And everyone has their own
Personal mermaid
Who can call to them
From beneath the waves
Tempt them to dive right in
Go for a swim
(Don′t dive right in)

Before the big wave hits
You think you see the sign
Swim at your own risk
Warning undertow
How far will you go?

Drowning your sorrows at the bar downtown
Chasing after money or the new girl you've found
Let me offer these few words of advice
It'll all end up the same
Dragging you down to a watery grave


Warning undertow
You think you′re doing fine
But you crossed that line
A long time ago
Warning undertow
Before the big wave hits
You think you see the sign
Swim at your own risk
Warning undertow
How far will you go?
Warning undertow
How far will you go?

Splish, splash, splish
Swim at your own risk
Splish, splash, splish
Swim at your own risk
