lyrics

Gotta be like water
Take the shape
Stay the same
Gotta be like water
Fill what holds me
Feel the whole sea
Showin love

I get so turned round I lose my sight yeah
Waste two days to forget one night yeah
Say something mean
I’m built like that
Give my will a quick break
Make the world turn black
Suns out, my pace slow , can’t walk on lakes
Go round with head high, then hide my face

Gotta be like water
Fill what holds me
Feel the whole sea
Showin love

Took a walk needed air
Picked a fight I feed the bear
Too inside it to see it fair
Cant see your side can’t meet you there
Dug in, doubled-down with your eyes closed
I’m troubled by where my mind goes
Ill cut ya off it’s my right
Thats no loss to my life
That’s cold cold cold
We stay in motion
One push one pull
Islands in oceans
Only see what shows
I’ve said what I can’t take back
For max reaction
Eyes turned black and flashing
Usin facts like
Castin stones
Your sinnin soul
My sinnin soul
That’s how it goes
So
Gotta be like water
Fill what holds me
Feel the whole sea
Showin love
