I went to the water's edge, forgot I couldn't swim   I went to the water's edge, all ready to jump in   I saw the water shimmer   I heard the wind howl   I saw my own reflection   I just can't see it now      You say it's the way of the world   To somehow co-exist   That eventually life unfurls   A path to happiness      So, I whisper your little secret   And repeat it under my breath   I'll save it for you in my heart   In case we both forget      Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me   I am gripped by a loneliness   Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me   I'd be released in your tenderness   I'd be released in your tenderness      I went to the water's edge and saw my life eclipse   I went to the water's edge and then felt myself slip   I dreamed that I was floating, just coast until I grew fins   I want to catch this tide back home and feel you again      Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me   I am gripped by a loneliness   Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me   I'd be released in your tenderness   Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me   I am gripped by a loneliness   Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me   I'd be released in your tenderness   I'd be released in your tenderness   I'd be released in your tenderness
