How You Remember Lyrics - Singles - Azure Ray

And you tread on the water 

When you know you can touch the bottom now 

It's the southern way, said your mother 

'Stay in shallow, shallow water don't touch the ground' 

But then a slithering, sliding form 

Catches you before you reach the shore 

And as he strikes, full of venom 

You reach out towards the trouble 

You've got him now, but how? 

And you thrust him to the sky 

Arms raised high, you make a Y 

There is no fear, there is no pain inside 

As you twist and write 

This is how you remember yourself 

Arms raised high, needing no help 

And you know you can't keep this steady pose 

You must release him somehow 

But as you loosen your hold 

The fight you felt, it is old it's over now 

His body, lifeless and cold 

You throw him down 

And you raise your arms up to the sky 

Raised high, you make a Y 

There is no fear, there is no pain inside 

As the sun still shines on these drying lines 

This is how you remember yourself 

Arms raised to heaven, needing no help
