I went to the water's edge, forgot I couldn't swim
   I went to the water's edge, all ready to jump in
   I saw the water shimmer
   I heard the wind howl
   I saw my own reflection
   I just can't see it now
  
   You say it's the way of the world
   To somehow co-exists
   That eventually life unfurls
   A path to happiness
  
   So I whisper your little secret
   And repeat it under my breath
   I'll save it for you in my heart
   In case we both forget
  
   Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
   I am gripped by a loneliness
   Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
   I'd be released in your tenderness
   I'd be released in your tenderness
  
   I went to the water's edge and saw my life eclipse
   I went to the water's edge and then felt myself slip
   I dreamed that I was floating, just coast until I grew fins
   I want to catch this tide back home and feel you again
  
   Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
   I am gripped by a loneliness
   Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
   I'd be released in your tenderness
   Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
   I am gripped by a loneliness
   Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
   I'd be released in your tenderness
   I'd be released in your tenderness
   I'd be released in your tenderness
