Omething in the waterand the ravages of time
Something in the water leads me on!
Looking back on this old photograph
From the best of times we ever had
Oh, I remember that serenity
But suddenly I heard them talking
I remember, just turned ten, I was trying to say
Please! Don't move across the border
Can't you see? Life is magic here, don't throw it all away!
I said there's something in the water
Hear me out! Give it one last try, but
There was no way out for this little kid

Something in the water the ravages of time
Looking back on being seventeen
I swore I'd never lose my foothold once again
Oh, I could not have been more outspoken
Please don't fix it, it's not broken!
And all those guarantees to no avail

And I was trying to say
Please! Please don't move across the border
Can't you see? Life is magic here, don't throw it all away!
I said there's something in the water
Hear me out! Give it one last try, but
There was no way out for this little kid

So you don't remember? Good thing I recorded everything!
Oh, for crying out loud! My red line was not worth water

I'm sending signals across the border
Be back soon, hoping I can see clearly once again
I'm a desert island without water a castaway
Oh, I tried but there was no way out

So when I look back
Then my teenage self emerges again, lost at sea
Something in the water
Something in the water leads me on!
