[Verse 1]
She said she couldn't do it if she tried
But she never tried, she'll never try
It's running through her veins like cyanide
It gets her by, but just for a while

[Pre-Chorus]
How long, can she keep on chasing something wrong?
Memories, of how she could've made it

[Chorus]
The waves are crashing down, she's caught in the undertow
Drowning in the sea, yeah
She's looking for a light but there's nowhere to go
Undertow

[Verse 2]
She sees the world through hazy blood-shod eyes
Just looking for another high
She lives by golden rules that don't apply
Life passed her by, and I tell you why

[Pre-Chorus]
How long, can she keep on chasing something wrong?
Memories, of how she could've made it
[Chorus]
The waves are crashing down, she's caught in the undertow
Drowning in the sea, oh-oh
She's looking for a light but there's nowhere to go
Undertow

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
How long, can she keep on chasing something wrong?
Memories, of how she could've made it

[Chorus]
The waves are crashing down, she's caught in the undertow
Drowning in the sea, yeah yeah
She's looking for a light but there's nowhere to go

The waves are crashing down, she's caught in the undertow
Drowning in the sea, oh yeah
She's looking for a light but there's nowhere to go
Undertow
