[Verse 1]
Like water, you see into me
You reach into me and I ripple 'round in circles
Reflections of my dreams in yours
Bring me to the shores of desire
[Verse 2]
I have been like a desert creature
Wandering on this earth so cracked and dry (how did you survive?)
But now your love is bringing me alive
[Chorus]
Like water, how could I do without you?
My body heat will not cool down
Like water, I could not live without you
I want to dive so deep into you, I might drown
[Post-Chorus]
Tu eres como el agua
[Verse 3]
You know me, an invisible line connects us in time
And now there is no distance between us
You see what I feel and all I am feeling is you
[Chorus]
Like water, how could I do without you?
My body heat will not cool down
Like water, I could not live without you
I want to dive so deep into you, I might drown
[Bridge]
Tu eres como el agua
No se que haria sin ti mi amor
Yo no pudiera vivir sin ti
Quiero ahogarme en ti y nunca regresar
Como el agua me ves tan clara
Siempre puedes tu llegar a mi
Me siento tan feliz
Tu amor me da razon para vivir
[Outro]
Like water, like water
Like water, na-na-na-na-na
Like water, like water
Dive so deep into you, I might drown
Like water, like water
