This Is Chris Isaak

Graduation Day - Chris Isaak

break me

A morning surf session almost turns deadly, and the lifeguard doesn't care. Where is David Hasselhoff when you need him?

LYRICS
(C)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[Verse 1]
Met Misty at the office, she had that summer smile
We drove out to the shoreline, sat talkin’ for a while
I was lacing up my wetsuit, she was quicker to explore
By the time I hit the breakers, she was halfway from the shore

[Chorus]
Sharks in the water, pullin’ at my mind
Waves keep on rollin’, leave her trail behind
If I lost her to the tide, Lord, I don’t know what I’d do
With the sharks in the water and my heart sinkin’ too

[Verse 2]
Her board came back alone, ghost rider on the sea
I shouted out her name, but no one answered me
The lifeguard shook his head, said “it happens every day”
I swear the ocean swallowed her and took Misty away

[Chorus]
Sharks in the water, pullin’ at my mind
Waves keep on rollin’, leave her trail behind
If I lost her to the tide, Lord, I don’t know what I’d do
With the sharks in the water and my heart sinkin’ too

[Bridge]
Big ocean stretches farther than my eyes can see
I’d dive in to find her, but where would she be?
Every shadow, every ripple, I’m prayin’ ain’t true
That the sharks in the water ain’t draggin’ her through

[Verse 3]
Then I see her in the sunlight, cuttin’ back to sand
Laughin’ at the chaos with her board in hand
She’s got a baby shark chasin’, snappin’ at her heel
She’s safe and she’s smilin’, my heart can finally heal

[Final Chorus]
Sharks in the water, pullin’ at my mind
Thought I might lose her, left my soul behind
But she came back with the tide, and I know our love is true
With the sharks in the water, I found her—and I knew
