Something In The Water
Joe Hicks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're the victims of a lazy afternoon
And in the afterglow, I've never felt closer to home
'Cause you illuminate the feeling in my bones
Is it something in the water?
Is it something in the way you move?
'Cause something in the water
Tell me when you're feeling cold
And I'll be there no matter what you do
'Cause everything you touch is gold
And I keep coming back to you
Baby, if you feel the cold
Know my love for you is bullet proof
'Cause everything you touch is gold
And I keep coming back to you
Sun entrancing clouds, staring at 'em figuring out
If you could get so high, you'll never come back down
And when we feel the rain, we can plan a escape
Just run away and leave it all
Is it something in the water?
Is it something in the way you move?
'Cause something in the water
Keeps me coming back to you
Tell me when you're feeling cold
And I'll be there no matter what you do
'Cause everything you touch is gold
And I keep coming back to you
Baby, if you feel the cold
Know my love for you is bullet proof
'Cause everything you touch is gold
And I keep coming back to you, oh oh
Oh oh, I keep coming back to you
I won't give up
Giving it up
And I won't give up
Giving it up
To you
Is it something in the water?
Is it something in the way you move?
'Cause something in the water
Keeps me coming back to you, oh
Is it something in the water? Oh
Is it something in the way you move?
(Keeps me coming back to you)
'Cause something in the water
Keeps me coming back to you, oh
Is it something in the water?
Is it something in the way you move?
'Cause something in the water
Keeps me coming back to you
Is it something in the water?
Is it something in the way you move?
'Cause something in the water
Keeps me coming back to you
Is it something in the water?
Is it something in the way you move?
'Cause something in the water
Keeps me coming back to you
The song "Something in the Water" by Joe Hicks is all about the power of love and how it can fuel an unbreakable connection between two people. The first verse describes the feeling of being buried under the mood, with someone special, with the sun shining down on them in the aftermath of a lazy afternoon. The singer states that this person illuminates the feeling in his bones, possibly referring to how love can make you feel alive and radiant.
The chorus repeats the question, "Is it something in the water?" implying that there's a mystical force that keeps bringing them back to each other. The verse goes on to say "Everything you touch is gold," implying that the person he is singing about has a Midas touch, and anything they do or say is special and valuable. The song seems to be all about the joy of being with someone who makes you feel positive and alive.
In the second verse, the lyrics move from being observational (about the sun and clouds) to more deliberate as the singer tells his love interest that he will be there for them no matter what, emphasizing the trust and safety that love can bring.
Overall, "Something in the Water" is a soulful song whose lyrics reflect the joys of being in a committed and loving relationship.

Sun entrancing clouds, staring at 'em figuring out
We're captivated by the sight of the sun and clouds and trying to make sense of it all
If you could get so high, you'll never come back down
We imagine being so high up that we can never come back down to earth
And when we feel the rain, we can plan a escape
When it starts raining, we can use it as an opportunity to escape from our problems
Just run away and leave it all
We can just run away from everything and leave all our worries behind
I won't give up
I won't give up on us
Giving it up
No matter what challenges we face
To you
I will always be dedicated to you
