The Water Lets You In Lyrics

Young man goes out looking
For the diamond in the sea.
Old man rows his boat to shore
And falls on twisted knees.

And you'll drown before
The water lets you in...
You'll drown before
The water lets you in...

The feeling that i fear the most
Is the one that follows me.
All across the starry coast
From sea to dying sea. It says...

You'll drown before
The water lets you in...
You'll drown before
The water lets you in...

I think the thing i've wanted most
Was just never meant to be.
A thousand waves, a thousand ghosts
Their sorrows follow me.

And you'll drown before
The water lets you in...
You'll drown before
The water lets you in...

oh horrible, oh horrible day.

Cover art for The Water Lets You In lyrics by Book Of Fears

This is a song about broken dreams, things wanted fro life that are never realized, and a feeling of loneliness from knowing that some things we want will never be; that relationship that is always strained at best, that one that isn't there anymore. It's about growing older without seeing what you'd always hoped for, and yet still trying to reach those dreams, while feeling you never will.
