VERSE 1
Waves crash like they’re trying to pull me under,
Salt stings like a memory I can’t outrun.
The tide rises up like a quiet thunder,
And somehow I feel safer than anyone.
The ocean’s got a way of telling truths
I’ve buried deep beneath my youth.
Every swell, every pull, every breaking blue
Feels like it knows what I’ve been through.
PRE‑CHORUS
People fear the deep,
But I breathe easier there.
Guess when you’ve lived with storms inside,
You stop being scared.
CHORUS
I’m drownproof —
I’ve lived in waters darker than this.
I’ve been pulled down by the weight of things
No one else could admit.
But the ocean holds me honest,
Shows me what I’ve survived.
Yeah, I’m drownproof —
’Cause I’ve been fighting waves all my life.
VERSE 2
Currents twist like the thoughts I hide,
Cold hands dragging at my spine.
But I don’t flinch, I don’t run this time —
The sea feels more like home tonight.
Lightning cracks across the distant line,
And for a moment, the whole world shines.
I see myself in the shifting tide —
A storm that learned to stay alive.
PRE‑CHORUS
People fear the deep,
But I breathe easier there.
Guess when you’ve lived with storms inside,
You stop being scared.
CHORUS
I’m drownproof —
I’ve lived in waters darker than this.
I’ve been pulled down by the weight of things
No one else could admit.
But the ocean holds me honest,
Shows me what I’ve survived.
Yeah, I’m drownproof —
’Cause I’ve been fighting waves all my life.
BRIDGE
Let the tide rise higher,
Let the waves hit harder.
I’ve already learned
How to breathe underwater.
FINAL CHORUS
I’m drownproof —
I’ve lived in waters darker than this.
I’ve been pulled down by the weight of things
No one else could admit.
But the ocean holds me honest,
Shows me what I’ve survived.
Yeah, I’m drownproof —
And tonight, I’m still alive.
