Through shallow waters
(Through shallow waters)
(Through shallow waters)
To push against
A riptide
Wanting to pull you in
No matter how hard you try
Keeping your head high
It'll sweep you off your feet
And drag you into the deep
Knowing how to swim
Won't help you through
Shallow waters
Cuz the drowning
Risk's the same
Have to hold your breath
When wading through
Shallow waters
Now there's no time
To complain
(No time to complain)
(Through shallow waters)
(Through shallow waters)
So you can't see the bottom
Or the shore in the distance
Avoid the deeper end
Though you know how to swim
The riptide's pulling you in
Knowing how to swim
Won't help you through
Shallow waters
Cuz the drowning
Risk's the same
Have to hold your breath
When wading through
Shallow waters
Now there's no time to complain
(No time to complain)
(Through shallow waters)
(Shallow waters)
(Through shallow waters)
(You can't see the bottom)
