[Verse 1]

Lay back into my hand

As waves, they crash the sand

Spread out now on the tide

And I will float you

Remember what I told you

You'd almost let it slide

Yeah, you'll be alright, yeah

[Chorus]

Lay back and let the water hold you

Lay back and let the water hold you

Remember everything I told you

And you will survive, yeah

Everything that you can't control

Sometimes you gotta just let go

Lay back now and you will hold

And you will survive

[Verse 2]

There'll be times for prizing

There'll be times for fighting

There'll be times for backing down

And for diving

Live it up, surviving

Don't always wait around

Yeah, no one falls down, yeah

[Chorus]

Lay back and let the water hold you

Lay back and let the water hold you

Remember everything I told you

And you will survive, yeah

Everything that you can't control

Sometimes you gotta just let go

Lay back now and you will hold

And you will survive

[Bridge]

I'm diving

Crash into your island

Where the ocean meets the beach

You will know that I am here

Yes, you will know that I am here

Yes, you will know that I am here

You'll get torn apart

[Verse 3]

Waves crashing down your heart

Spread out now let it be

Before I let you go

You'll have something you can hold

What else is to see in time

Yeah, you'll be alright, yeah

[Chorus]

Let the water hold you

Lay back and let the water hold you

Remember everything I told you

And you will survive, yeah

Everything that you can't control

Sometimes you better just let go

Lay back now and you will hold

And you will survive

[Outro]

Lay, yeah

Lay back

Do do do do, do do do do
