Something In The Water
Tom Grennan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's something in the water, calling my name
Two beats I had no idea now the message you sent
Well it ain't clear 'cause I've fallen in love
Now I'm holding on to my past
And my mother said "you're growing up fast" though
Time is gone in a blink
It's time to think and put your worries aside
Today is just a day and tomorrow never dies
So, never not live another regret and take every moment you get
And let actions speak louder than words
So shout at the skies if your words cannot be heard

Well there's something in the water, calling my name
Two beats I had no idea now the message you sent
Well it ain't clear 'cause I've fallen in love
Yes I, fall I'm in love again?
With you, with you
With you, with you, now with you
Now I'm wondering why my force ain't clear
Am I hiding behind a crystal tear
And will the time stop or will the dime drop, or will my footprint make the mark?
Well I can see the light now, as I'm stepping out the door

Well there's something in the water, calling my name
Two beats, I had no idea well now the message you sent
Well it ain't clear 'cause I've fallen in love
There's something in the water
Water, water, water
Two beats I had no idea, now the message you sent
Well it ain't clear 'cause I've fallen in love
Yes I, fall I'm in love again




Now with you, with you, with you
With you now with you
