Water Lyrics
The eye of the storm meets the eye of the mind sending it spinning
Spinning not knowing which way is up not knowing which way to go
The eye of the mind blushes in lust of all the answers for years of tears, years in fear...
Oh the bitter water; satiated, covered in salt
Keeping me afloat, moving me along
And I can see everything. I can see thru buildings..
All the shattered lives and the battered wives..
And everybody's hypnotized by the dancing light
TV sets making everybody go blind.
And I can see thru you.
And when I look inside I know..
That you are living in a fantasy world taking your time, running your mind on low
And you are living in a fantasy land holding nobody's hand but your own
I said, "I can see everything"
One drop of rain that's me and all the rest is you
Who shook these trees? Let me guess did they come in two's?
When you're dealing with the fruits of the universe
You shake that apple tree, life deals you an orange, either way you're cursed
Oh the bitter water, satiated, covered in salt
Keeping me afloat, and always moving me along
It's keeping me on top of the water
Keeping me on top of the world
Keeping me on top I'm looking out
just to see what everything is all about
and I know where it is.. just don't know exactly what it is..
Spinning not knowing which way is up not knowing which way to go
The eye of the mind blushes in lust of all the answers for years of tears, years in fear...
Keeping me afloat, moving me along
And I can see everything. I can see thru buildings..
All the shattered lives and the battered wives..
And everybody's hypnotized by the dancing light
TV sets making everybody go blind.
And when I look inside I know..
And you are living in a fantasy land holding nobody's hand but your own
I said, "I can see everything"
Who shook these trees? Let me guess did they come in two's?
When you're dealing with the fruits of the universe
You shake that apple tree, life deals you an orange, either way you're cursed
Keeping me afloat, and always moving me along
Keeping me on top of the world
Keeping me on top I'm looking out
just to see what everything is all about
and I know where it is.. just don't know exactly what it is..

i love water as in H2O... i can see through you- love everything LOVE
great lyrics, where can i get this song?
I suggest checking out www.Mrazmerized.com for free live versions of Jason's wonderful art, including this song.
it could be my favorite...i see this as the speaker just getting the raw end of the deal...being there but just separated from everything around him.
A good version of this song is from the cd "From the Cutting Room Floor". Really soothing and Jason keeps changing the direction of the song so you never get bored.
To me this song is just about life, and not being too caught up in it, not to be disappointed if something doesn't come to you at the right time. And of course, like many other Jason Mraz songs, it's also about love.
"The eye of the mind blushes in lust..."
I love his verbage...!!! Very stimulating, lyrically and visually. I don't know where I would be without this Jason Mraz.
I absolutely love this song. It's almost like a stream of consciousness. The lyrics are so profound, it's hard to single out which ones are the best because they flow beautifully into each other. Apt title!
