Undertow

Well, everyone thinks that they
 They can handle it
 Right up until the time
 Where it all comes down
 To will they sink or swim
 Or will they drown
 So you dip your toe
 The water feels just fine
 Wade a bit further out
 Still have plenty of time
 To head back in to shore
 Better head back in now
 Or you might drown
 Warning undertow
 You think you're doing fine
 But you crossed that line
 A long time ago
 Warning undertow
 Swimming along
 Thinking everything's great
 While it sits beneath the waves
 And silently waits
 For you to ignore the signs
 Warning undertow
 (How far will you go?)
 And everyone has their own
 Personal mermaid
 Who can call to them
 From beneath the waves
 Tempt them to dive right in
 Go for a swim
 (Don't dive right in)
 Before the big wave hits
 You think you see the sign
 Swim at your own risk
 Warning undertow
 How far will you go?
