[Verse 1]
When the bells rang, I weren't ready for the playground heavies
Wasn't useful with my fists yet like my grandad Freddie
So I played class clown until the tears came down
Oversensitive, in envy of the fun you found
I waste away my wayward days stray from your sweetheart parties
Outside the in crowd, flipping burgers, far from golden arches
Fourteen and I'm gagging for that late-night draw
If you can pry my greedy eyes off the N64
But then I simmer down and suss out my own crowd
It feels like—
Triple-drop the doves, they take flight deep inside
And when it hits, I realise
[Chorus]
My body flows like water
My body flows like water
My body flows like water
My body flows like water
[Verse 2]
All the girls get us blushing, they say it's sweet
We get inseparable and torn to pieces every week
Life is lawless, all before us and the breaking beat's like—
But then when Jackie dies, we lose someone unique
He lived in service of a feeling, I go chasing through the city streets
In our hometown, there's a shadow where your track marks hide
So I make tracks and ride
[Chorus]
My body flows like water
My body flows like water
My body flows like water
My body flows like water
[Verse 3]
Ripples in the timeline, takes me back, teen misbehaving
I miss our wayward daydreams, but you say you don't need saving
No reinvention, still that pensive boy of reckless memory
Still oversensitive, still raving off the excess envy
[Chorus]
My body flows like water
My body flows like water
My body flows like water
My body flows like water
