Undertow

(album: The Morning Passengers - 2010)

She left for Austin, suitcase in her hand
So gaunt and tired of no one understanding her
She worked the nights just to make the rent
She spends them hours there just thinking of
The way it should have been

Maybe what it all comes down to,
Maybe what it all comes down to

Sometimes your world gets caught beneath the undertow
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it's both
Sometimes your world gets caught beneath the undertow
You're not alone, you're not alone

Whoa oh, whoa oh

She's never seen the ocean but it's right there in her mind
Barefeet running in the water, she goes there every time
She wears her heartache, she wears that cotton dress
We all got scars we try to hide, we're all the same I guess

Maybe what it all comes down to,
Maybe what it all comes down to

Sometimes your world gets caught beneath the undertow
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it's both
Sometimes your world gets caught beneath the undertow
You're not alone.

Give it all to find yourself,
Give it all to find yourself,
Give it all to find yourself
You're ready to find new hope

Sometimes your world gets caught beneath the undertow
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it's both
Sometimes your world gets caught beneath the undertow
You're not alone, you're not alone

Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

No, you're not alone, no
No, you're not alone, no
Yeah we got so much to give, oh oh
