Taken from the EP 'Sunshine Over Britain'.

This is 'Out From Under Water', a song I wrote in December 2018. Hope you enjoy.

The Nitty Gritty: This song was written in December 2018 and was recorded from March 20 - April 1 2019 at the Rangiora High School music studio, in 3 takes. The song is about the writer recovering from a low point in his life, and looking forward to a brighter future ahead.

Thank you to the following people for helping to create this song:

lyrics

I've been coughing water out my lungs
I don't know how or why it got there
I've been drowning, I've been lonely,
Just because I had a girl, she left me, now I'm stuck here
But now I'm feeling better
And I think the time has come for coming clean

I went swimming in the ocean just because
I'd meant to tell the sea my secrets
I didn't see the riptide of my mind
That would throw my heart into the deep end
I'm soaked but I'm still swimming
I have songs and stories you will not believe

Cos' now I'm out from under water
And I'm feeling oh so fine
I am out from under water
There are no more tears to cry
I wasn't sure but now I'm certain
I won't be drowning in the water

I was happy when the waves came overhead
But then the force of nature pulled me under
I tried paddling to safety, but I failed
And everything I knew was torn asunder
I started pushing upward
And I got up to the surface so I could breathe

And now I'm out from under water
And I'm feeling oh so fine
I am out from under water
There are no more tears to cry
I wasn't sure but now I'm certain
I won't be drowning in the water

I still don't know if I could ever go back to the sea again
I fear if I return then sadness will become my friend again
I hope my time with him is over
This time I'm out from under water

I am out from under water
And I'm feeling oh so fine
I am out from under water
There are no more tears to cry
I wasn't sure but now I'm certain
I won't be drowning in the water
