Another roller coaster ride,
We were stuck, in overdrive,
You were broken-hearted; I was all right,
When I met you....

She tried to ditch me and I tried to hate her,
But we're still here ten break-ups later.
I've got this figured out, but I still don't understand her,
She's like the perfect wave in a shark infested sea.

When she breaks, she rains down on me,
And I can't catch my breath,
But I won't let 'er go...
Yes, I feel at home in the undertow.

My friends told me "Man you're gonna crash,
A car like that'll knock you on your ass
I told 'em all that they could eat our dust,
And we're still truckin' on...

[Chorus]

Seems like I never win, I never learned how to swim,
I spend my whole life treadin' water...
You got me off of the beach and now I'm back in the reef,
You can be my life preserver...
Ba-ba-da-ba [x6] (hold the last "ba")

I've got this figured out, but I still don't understand her,
She's like the perfect wave in a shark infested sea.

When she breaks, she rains down on me,
And I can't catch my breath,
But I won't let 'er go...
Yes, I feel at home in the undertow.

I've got this figured out, but I still don't understand her,
She's like the perfect wave in a shark infested sea.

When she breaks, she rains down on me,
And I can't catch my breath,
But I won't let 'er go...
Yes, I feel at home in the undertow... [x3]
