I washed up, you reined me in
A mess of hair, all sea and skin
You held my hands, you told the line
To your canvas tent, in your net of twine
You lit fires, all down the beach
They swam for miles, to hear you teach
Your silver tongue, your crystal crown
All these idle things, that weigh you down
Loosen your grip on me, and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me, and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
The sun burned hot, the land ran dry
You kept us there, said you would provide
Your sweet voice sang, hands lifted high
But your song was a lie, it was a lie
Your songs don't move me, so much as the tide
Loosen your grip on me, and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me, and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
Don't leave, will you keep me
Come to the water, when you've shown me
Down to the water, just like you told me
You wash in the water and it makes you holy
You wash in the water and it makes you holy Under the water you touch me


Till you can't breathe
Loosen your grip on me
And let me slip away
I want out of your hands
I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me
And let me slip away
I want out of your hands
I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me
And let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me, and let me slip away
I want out of your hands, I want out of your heart
I want out of your heart
I want out of your heart
