Water Baby Lyrics

[Chorus: Tom Misch]
'Cause I was born a water baby
Swimming with these times
The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
'Cause I will live through days that break me
Swimming with these times
The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine

[Verse 1: Loyle Carner]
I'm still tryna write the story as I see it
The trouble is when I say it, they don't believe it
They reckon I only say it but I don't mean it
I'm tryna tell 'em I'd only say it if I can feel it
'Cause money's tight, maybe tighter than it was before
I'm helping out on a mortgage I really can't afford
Family breaking north, I cover the trips abroad
Shakin', I'm making another loss on another tour
But what I done it for?
To see my mother in the sun abroad
I run into trouble, that was coming for her
My little brother got the hunger for
All the exact same pain
That makes the rain in my stomach pour
So let me paint it broader
This for any dude who's got a daughter
Living off lines that your papa taught her Ain't got no time to be coming for you
Go with the flow of this running water
[Refrain: Loyle Carner]
Go with the flow of this
Go with the flow of this
Go with the flow of this

[Verse 2: Tom Misch]
Don't you worry
Two leaves won't grow the same
And people might forget your name
Doesn't matter if they do
Don't you hurry
When the hot coffee pours will stain
And when the Uber left you in the rain
Your time will come around to you
Despite the stress of spending so much time alone
'Cause this ge-o-gra-phy is keeping me at home
And I don't know the way to go
I move with the flow of this running water, this running water

[Chorus: Tom Misch]
'Cause I was born a water baby
Swimming with these times
The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
'Cause I will live through days that break me
Swimming with these times
The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
[Outro: Loyle Carner]
Go with the flow of this running water
