Undertow

[Verse]
Your tongue is like a duel edged sword 
You strike till you hit that painful cord
I know you carry so much baggage 
You can be so nice and then so savage 
It seems like you’re happy when we fight
You just don’t care if it’s wrong or right

[Verse]
I tell you I’m done and going away
But the way you love me makes me stay
The walls come down when we’re in bed
And I just can’t get you out of my head 
My wounds heal in the heat of the night 
And all that’s wrong turns into right 

[Chorus]
I’m caught in your undertow 
There’s just nowhere I can go 
I’ve tried so hard to break away
But your lovin’ makes me stay 
I’m caught in your undertow 
I just can’t seem to let you go
No matter what I try to do 
I get pulled right back to you 
I’m caught in your undertow…
And I just can’t break away 

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse]
Sometimes all you do is criticize 
Like I’m everything that you despise 
I’m your target when things get heated 
It’s like you can’t stop till I’m defeated 
Then later you come up and kiss me hard
Your passion makes me let down my guard 

[Chorus]
I’m caught in your undertow 
There’s just nowhere I can go 
I’ve tried so hard to break away
But your lovin’ makes me stay 
I’m caught in your undertow 
I just can’t seem to let you go
No matter what I try to do 
I get pulled right back to you 
I’m caught in your undertow…
And I just can’t break away 

[Verse]
I wish I didn’t like how you make me feel
The way you rock my body is so unreal 
I wish things could be like this forever 
But I know chances are next to never 
It’s only a matter of time till you break 
And you go back to making my heart ache 

[Chorus]
I’m caught in your undertow 
There’s just nowhere I can go 
I’ve tried so hard to break away
But your lovin’ makes me stay 
I’m caught in your undertow 
I just can’t seem to let you go
No matter what I try to do 
I get pulled right back to you 
I’m caught in your undertow…
And I just can’t break away 

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I shouldn’t have waded into your water
When I knew that I couldn’t swim
I couldn’t make it safely back to shore
So I could try to learn to love again

[Chorus]
I’m caught in your undertow 
There’s just nowhere I can go 
I’ve tried so hard to break away
But your lovin’ makes me stay 
I’m caught in your undertow 
I just can’t seem to let you go
No matter what I try to do 
I get pulled right back to you 
I’m caught in your undertow…
And I just can’t break away 

[Final Chorus]
I’m caught in your undertow 
There’s just nowhere I can go 
I’ve tried so hard to break away
But your lovin’ makes me stay 
I’m caught in your undertow 
I just can’t seem to let you go
No matter what I try to do 
I get pulled right back to you 
I’m caught in your undertow…
And I just can’t break away 
No, I just can’t break away
