[Verse 1: Jeremy DePoyster]

Knee deep in the water

Try to fight what fights back harder

All these things I can't control

Bringing up what's down below

I can't help but wonder

Why I always go back under?

All these things I can't control

It's so cyclical, so cyclical

I'm the prey, never the hunter

Felt the need to run for cover

All these things I can't control

Are we born to die alone?

Thought I heard the thunder

And somehow it brought me comfort

All these things I can't control

[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]

I'm gonna ride the wave

Let it guide the way

I used to think that drowning was the only way to breathе

Now I just pretend that I have еverything I need

[Verse 2: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]

There's a comfort in the quiet

There's a calm without the storm

I've come to terms with getting older

Now that I'm not keeping score

And if I don't wake up tomorrow

There's not a thing I would regret

Yeah, I used to feel hollow 'til I got this off my chest

[Chorus: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]

I'm gonna ride the wave

Let it guide the way

I used to think that drowning was the only way to breathe

Now I just pretend that I have everything I need

I'm gonna ride the wave

Let it guide the way

'Cause life is just a game and I never learned to cheat

Maybe this world's better without
