[Verse 1]
Take a look around
I come from a town not too far from here
There is a sound
Never figured out how to make it clear
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear a song there inside my head (I hear a song there)
Can't figure out what it's trying to say
I hear a voice inside my head (I hear a voice inside)
Can't figure out what it's saying
[Chorus]
Water underground
(Fall on me)
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?
Water underground
(Fall on me)
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Take a look around
Always had a reason to remain near
There is a sound
Like a signal between stations, it's hard to hear
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear a song there inside my head (I hear a song there)
Can't lose it yet, try to make it stay
I hear a voice inside my head (I hear a voice inside)
Can't figure out what it's saying
[Chorus]
Water underground
(Fall on me)
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?
Water underground
(Fall on me)
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Water underground
(Fall on me)
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?
Water underground
(Fall on me)
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?
[Outro]
Water underground
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?

Martin Courtney:
This song is about writing songs. I think ‘Water Underground’ is like the unconscious, the mysterious part of your brain where creativity comes from. The constant flow of music in the back of your head. You get an idea while driving or walking the dog or something and you want to h...
Martin Courtney:
Initially, I just came up with the phrase ‘water underground’. I thought it sounded good for a chorus, but then I had to figure out what it meant. I wrote the whole song without really understanding what I was writing about, but I thought about it later and it came to me: ‘Oh, it’s...
