Something In The Water
Brooke Fraser Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears.
Birds singing on my shoulder, in harmony it seems
How they sing, how they sing how they sing.
Give me nights of solitude,
Reclined in a hammock on a balmy evening.
I'll pretend that it's no thing
There's a skip in my heart when I think
Of you thinking of me babe I'm crazy over you.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
Something in the water
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
That makes me love you like
I've got halos made of summer,
Ribbons made of spring
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears.
I've got crowns of words a'woven,
Each one a song to sing
Oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing.
Give me long days in the sun
Preludes to the nights to come
Previews of the mornings layin' in all lazy.
Give me something fun to do
Like a life of loving you
Kiss me quick now baby I'm still crazy over you.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
Something in the water.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
That makes me love you like I do.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Give me nights of solitude
Red wine just a glass or two
Give me something fun to do.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
Something in the water.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
That makes me love you like I do.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
Something in the water.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
That makes me love you like I do do do do do do do do do do.
In the opening lines of Brooke Fraser's "Something in the Water," she describes herself wearing a happy and vibrant demeanor composed of bright, pretty things. She further creates an idyllic image by mentioning birds singing on her shoulders in perfect harmony. Fraser then goes on to express her desire for moments of solitude accompanied by a glass or two of red wine, spending time in a hammock on a balmy evening. We can picture her basking in the tranquility of such moments. However, even in those peaceful moments, there's a "skip in [her] heart" when she thinks about the person she loves.
Fraser mentions that there's something in the water that makes her love her significant other more than ever. She creates a metaphor about having halos made of summer and ribbons made of spring to describe her joy and happiness. She has a unique way of expressing her feelings and uses her imagination to paint vivid images to describe how much she loves her partner. Fraser longs for long days in the sun that would be a prelude to the nights to come, and she wants a life of loving the person she loves. Even though she might pretend that it's not a big deal, in reality, she is "crazy" for them. Fraser's use of imagery, metaphors, and repetition in the form of "do do do" gives this song a lovely and poetic quality.
