Undertow

i struggle in this private ocean
pray the waves don't cover me
caught in this strong emotion
drifting on the deepest sea
i don't know how i got here
but there's a full moon out tonight
i can see the distant shore
i'm drowning with land in sight

feels like i'm goin' under
feels like i'm goin' under
feels like i'm goin' under

this was the place they showed me
said it was safe to go
i walked out where it was shallow
it was dark, i took it slow
i never saw it comin'
my blindness took my choice
you gave me several warnings
but i couldn't hear your voice

can you hear me as i'm callin' out to you?
can you hear me through these waves of thunder?
can you see me as i'm wavin' out my hand?
can you save me now?
i wonder
