[Intro]
(Hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
[Verse 1]
When you look, you see right through me

[Chorus]
Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time, you see
Like holy water
It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry
This time, with me
[Outro]

“That song, what was that song about? Just got done performing it. The lyrics are about a relationship. ‘When you look you see right through me, cut the rope, fell to my knees, born and broken every single time.’ It’s just feeling not right in a situation.” – Scott Weiland
