Well, who the hell told you that life would be easy? And why the hell do we even think that it should be? I've been there before, oh I've bought what they sold me It's true, yeah, I kept the receipts And I've cried on the floor before, you probably have too Oh, I've let down the people I love I failed and got lost, and failed and got lost again But it was never a waste of my time I am an ocean wave breaking upon the shore Return me to open water, and there I will break no more I've spent most of my life thinking things ain't alright Thinking this ain't the way it should be Feeling a little bit homeless In my own house, on my street So I've packed my guitar and a suitcase and drove To go play in some stranger's home I sang with my eyes closed And I felt a little less alone I am a river wild, searching to find my home Return me to open water, and there I will search no more ♪ But I gotta keep moving, keep opening up Yeah, it may not be easy, but don't ever let 'em say you're not enough I am a thunderstorm, over the Earth I roam Return to me open water, there I will weep no more I am a river wild, searching to find my home Return me to open water, and there I will search no more I am an ocean wave, breaking upon the shore Return me to open water, and there I will break no more
