Water Baby Lyrics - Loyle Carner

'Cause I was born a water baby 

Swimming with these times 

The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine 

'Cause I would live through days that break me 

Swimming with these times 

The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine 

I'm still tryna write the story as I see it 

The trouble is when I say it, they don't believe it 

The reckon I only say it but I don't mean it 

I'm tryna tell 'em I'd only say it if I can feel it 

'Cause money's tight, maybe tighter than it was before 

I'm helping out on the mortgage I really can't afford 

Family breaking north, I cover the trips abroad 

Shakin', I'm making another loss on another tour 

But what I done it for? 

To see my mother in the sun abroad 

I run into trouble, it was coming for 

My little brother got the hunger for 

All the exact same pain 

That makes the rain my stomach pour 

So let me paint it broader 

This for any dude who's got a daughter 

Living off lines that your papa taught her 

Ain't got no time to be coming for you 

Go with the flow of this running water

Go with the flow of this 

Go with the flow of this 

Go with the flow of this 

Don't you worry 

Two leaves won't grow the same 

And people might forget your name 

Doesn't matter if they do 

Don't you hurry 

When the hot coffee pours will stain 

And when the Uber left you in the rain 

Your time will come around to you 

Despite the stress of spending so much time alone 

'Cause this ge-o-gra-phy is keeping me at home 

And I don't know the way to go 

I move with the flow of this running water, this running water 

'Cause I was born a water baby 

Swimming with these times 

The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine 

Photos 

'Cause I would live through days that break me 

Swimming with these times 

The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine 

Go with the flow of this running water
