Crash into C#mme and have your way
Cause EI’m not strong eBnough now
I’m just C#msand in your wake, Equickly washed aBway
And I C#mstill try to hold my head up
ENights can be as Bcold as your touch
C#mGiving up, I’m Egiving Bup
I keep C#mrunning, running but the Etide keeps on Bcoming
EI’ve been caught in your C#mundertow, it’s Bpulling my faster
I’m Esinking, taking you C#min my lungs, it’s Bpulling me under
Your C#mlove’s like the ocean, the Bwaves might hit
And C#mslip through my hands when I Breach for it
EI’ve been caught in your C#mundertow
Keep your C#mhead up
(You keep pulling me under)
Keep your C#mhead up
(You keep pulling me under)
Keep your C#mhead

Cause I’m not strong enough now

I’m just sand in your wake, quickly washed away

And I still try to hold my head up

Nights can be as cold as your touch

Giving up, I’m giving up

I’ve been caught in your undertow, it’s pulling my faster

I’m sinking, taking you in my lungs, it’s pulling me under

Your love’s like the ocean, the waves might hit

And slip through my hands when I reach for it

I’ve been caught in your undertow
