[Verse 1]
Lay back into my hand
As waves, they crash the sand
Spread out now on the tide
And I will float you
Remember what I told you
You'd almost let it slide
Yeah, you'll be alright, yeah

[Chorus]
Lay back and let the water hold you
Lay back and let the water hold you
Remember everything I told you
And you will survive, yeah
Everything that you can't control
Sometimes you gotta just let go
Lay back now and you will hold
And you will survive

[Verse 2]
There'll be times for prizing
There'll be times for fighting
There'll be times for backing down
And for diving
Live it up, surviving
Don't always wait around
Yeah, no one falls down, yeah
[Chorus]
Lay back and let the water hold you
Lay back and let the water hold you
Remember everything I told you
And you will survive, yeah
Everything that you can't control
Sometimes you gotta just let go
Lay back now and you will hold
And you will survive

[Bridge]
I'm diving
Crash into your island
Where the ocean meets the beach
You will know that I am here
Yes, you will know that I am here
Yes, you will know that I am here
You'll get torn apart

[Verse 3]
Waves crashing down your heart
Spread out now let it be
Before I let you go
You'll have something you can hold
What else is to see in time
Yeah, you'll be alright, yeah
[Chorus]
Let the water hold you
Lay back and let the water hold you
Remember everything I told you
And you will survive, yeah
Everything that you can't control
Sometimes you better just let go
Lay back now and you will hold
And you will survive

[Outro]
Lay, yeah
Lay back
Do do do do, do do do do
