Lay Me on the Water

Gavin DeGraw

Thinking 'bout the water for a sign
Waiting for the moment to arise
I know that no man could ever fly
Just lay me on the water

Colors paint great pictures in my dreams
Shining off the rust that I have seen
But I don't need to show them to the world
Just lay me on the water

If the water is calm
I'll just float
If it's rough and high
I'll pretend that I'm a boat
Lay me on the water

Oh candy seems to roll off of my tongue
I view all good citizens as one
But I don't feel like leading some campaign
Just lay me on the water

If the water is calm
I'll just float
If it's rough and high
I'll pretend that I'm a boat
Lay me on the water

Oh gentle on the wing
Where I want to be
Listen to the breeze blow
Lay me on the water

If the water is calm
I'll just float
If it's rough and high
I'll pretend that I'm a boat
Lay me on the water
Lay me on the water
Lay me on the water
Lay me on the water
Lay me on the water
