[Verse 1]
You led me to the water's edge
Wasn’t hard to get me to drink
And on the sand we made our bed
And never took the time to think
Wasn't lookin' for someone to rely on
Not somebody so free that they would fly home
Like an illusion in my head
Was over before I could blink

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And like a distant cloud
It’s all so hazy now
And I just can't stop comin' down (Uh)

[Chorus]
I'm having a hard time letting go (Oh-ayy-oh)
I wish I could call to let you know (Oh-ayy-oh)
But I can see you and me and I just can't let it be
I'm having a hard time letting go (Oh-ay-oh)

[Post-Chorus]
So take me back to the sea (Sea)
Take me back to the sea (Sea)

[Verse 2]
Got your mirage stuck in my way
I can't get the siren to stop
Singin' every single day
Whether I wanna hear it or not
Were you just a vision in the water?
Never lost you, but I’m gonna find you
Can’t break out of your embrace
Don't know what kinda magic you got

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I just can’t stop comin' down

[Chorus]
I'm having a hard time letting go (Oh-ayy-oh)
I wish I could call to let you know (Oh-ayy-oh)
But I can see you and me and I just can't let it be
I’m having a hard time letting go (Oh-ay-oh)

[Post-Chorus]
So take me back to the sea (Sea)
Take me back to the sea (Sea)
Take me back to the sea (Sea)

[Refrain]
I wasn't looking for someone to rely on
Not somebody so free that they would fly home
(Take me back to the sea, sea)
While you're just a vision in the water
Never lost you, but I'm gonna find you
(Take me back to the sea)

[Bridge]
But I just can't stop comin' down
I'm having a hard time letting go
I wish I could call to let you know, yeah
But I can see you and me and I just can't let it be
I'm having a hard time letting go

[Outro]
Oh mama, I'm having a hard time letting go (Oh-ayy-oh)
And oh, mama, I wish I could call to let you know (Oh-ayy-oh)
I can see you and me and I just can't let it be
I'm having a hard time letting, a hard time letting go (Oh-ayy-oh)
So take me back to the sea (Sea)
Well, take me back to the sea, babe (Sea)
Well, just let me be, baby (Sea)
(Take me back to the sea, sea)
Ride with me through the trees to the sea (Sea)
(Take me back to the sea, sea)
Well, take me back to the sea
