lyrics

I came out of the surf
I don't know what that's worth
I reach up to the sky
I don't know why

She came to me
With her serenity
Wrapped her arms around
So I could see

I never knew
What I would do
When I was alone
Without her

I never wanted
Anything to be the same
But here we are
We're going back in time again
Again

We were swimming in the open sea
I saw land it was ahead of me
Next thing I'm all alone on the shore
I thought we both had understood so much more

I crashed into the sand
Now I can barely stand
When we cheat each other
We all lose out

They came to me
Showing their humanity
I looked around
And I could finally see

We always know
Deep down inside our soul
We can choose to help
Each other

I never wanted
Anything to be the same
But here we are
We're going back in time again
Back in time again

We were swimming in the open sea
I saw land it was ahead of me
Next thing I'm all alone on the shore
I thought we both had understood so much more

Narrowly missed the rocks
Now I've learned to walk
I think about the stars
While just playing my guitar

I looked around
The groupers and the clowns
They're playing one against
The other

Was finally sure
I couldn't be there with her
I'd have to find my way
Alone

I still can't think of
Anything that I could change
And here I am going back in time again
Back in time again
Back in time again

I was swimming in the open sea
There was no one swimming next to me
As I make my way to the shore
I finally understood so much more

I thought we got off the beach
I stretch, I cannot reach
You're back out in the waves
I hope he can save you
