lyrics
Cool water draws a line down my spine
Free-falling suspended in time
Underwater flying, no fear of dying
The sky is blue as far as I can see.
But the waves aren’t breaking
and the sea is taking me
And my head starts dipping ‘
cause my feet are slipping
And my arms are tiring
and my lungs are firing
And my hope is fading ‘
cause the shore is further than it was before.
Caught up in the undertow...
The undertow.
Flying in formation
with a school of manta rays
Don’t lose your concentration –
it’s a poisonous ballet.
But the waves aren’t breaking...
Caught up in the undertow...
The undertow
Free-falling suspended in time
Underwater flying, no fear of dying
The sky is blue as far as I can see.
But the waves aren’t breaking
and the sea is taking me
And my head starts dipping ‘
cause my feet are slipping
And my arms are tiring
and my lungs are firing
And my hope is fading ‘
cause the shore is further than it was before.
Caught up in the undertow...
The undertow.
Flying in formation
with a school of manta rays
Don’t lose your concentration –
it’s a poisonous ballet.
But the waves aren’t breaking...
Caught up in the undertow...
The undertow

Together, Kenna and Cox have played at festivals around Europe, including in the Netherlands and Ireland, and supported Alabama 3 at Tripod in Dublin. ... more
