Water Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tired of sleeping on the sidewalk
Working at the bus stop night 'til morning
Tired and waiting for the sunlight
When it comes, it's still dark where I'm going
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't
Don't punish me for what I feel
Don't
Don't punish me for what I feel
[Chorus]
So I crawled out of the back door
Took off all these tight clothes
Jumped into the water
So I crawled out of the back door
Took off all these tight clothes
Jumped into the water
I jumped into the water
The water
[Verse 2]
Vicious demons on the TV
So I sold it on 16th St
But I still hear the drone
Now I'm 'bout to get off this night shift
Do you think I could get a lift?
I don't care where you're going
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't
Don't punish me for what I feel
Don't
Don't punish me for what I feel
[Chorus]
So I crawled out of the back door
Took off all these tight clothes
Jumped into the water
So I crawled out of the back door
Took off all these tight clothes
Jumped into the water
I jumped into the water
The water
[Bridge]
My face was numb, my lungs were sore
But still I swam until my feet could touch the shore
Now I've been sleeping on your porch
I'm still too scared to bust the lock on your door
[Chorus]
So I crawled out of the back door
Took off all these tight clothes
Jumped into the water
So I crawled out of the back door
Took off all these tight clothes
Jumped into the water
I jumped into the water
The water
The water

What did Ra Ra Riot say about "Water"?
Between 2005-2009, Wes and I wrote an album together in snatched moments in our lives… That record (the Discovery LP) seemed to benefit from us having the freedom to pick it up and put it down. In January of this year, Wes came to stay with me, and we set out to write songs again. We didn’t know whe...
What is the meaning of the song?
In an interview with Baeble Music, bassist Mathieu Santos said:
[‘Water’ is] another one that Wes and Rostam wrote together, and I think it’s just the story of someone simply “going for it.” The metaphors are about travelling and about these modern-day, banal experiences and then just getting yours...
