I washed up, you reigned me in

A mess of hair, all sea and skin

You held my hands, you towed the line

To you canvas tent, in your net of twine

You lit fires all down the beach

They swam for miles to hear you teach

Your silver tongue, your crystal crown

All these idle things that weigh you down

Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away

I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart

Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away

I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart

The sun burnt hot, the land ran dry

You kept us there, said you would provide

Your sweet voice sang, hands lifted high

But your songs don't move me so much as the tide

Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away

I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart

Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away

I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart

Come to the water

Where you stole me

Down to the water

Just like you told me

Wash in the water

It makes you holy

Under the water

Till you can't breathe

Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away

I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart

Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away

I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart

Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away

I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart

Loosen your grip on me and let me slip away

I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart

I want out of your heart

I want out of your heart
