[Verse 1]
Tired of sleeping on the sidewalk
Working at the bus stop night 'til morning
Tired and waiting for the sunlight
When it comes, it's still dark where I'm going

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't
Don't punish me for what I feel
Don't
Don't punish me for what I feel

[Chorus]
So I crawled out of the back door
Took off all these tight clothes
Jumped into the water
So I crawled out of the back door
Took off all these tight clothes
Jumped into the water
I jumped into the water
The water

[Verse 2]
Vicious demons on the TV
So I sold it on 16th Street
But I still hear the drone
Now I'm 'bout to get off this night shift
Do you think I could get a lift?
I don't care where you're going
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't
Don't punish me for what I feel
Don't
Don't punish me for what I feel

[Chorus]
So I crawled out of the back door
Took off all these tight clothes
Jumped into the water
So I crawled out of the back door
Took off all these tight clothes
Jumped into the water
I jumped into the water
The water

[Bridge]
My face was numb, my lungs were sore
But still I swam until my feet could touch the shore
I've been sleeping on your porch
I'm still too scared to bust the lock on your door

[Chorus]
So I crawled out of the back door
Took off all these tight clothes
Jumped into the water
So I crawled out of the back door
Took off all these tight clothes
Jumped into the water
I jumped into the water
The water
The water
