Las Manos Dentro Del Agua

I know I've been a coward
I know I still am in this song
But it's too late and I can't find
A better way to explain myself.

You thought you were the strongest
You thought you owned the sea
But as you roll in the sand now you see
That the sea isn't yours and you curse your luck.

With your emeralds and your roses
And your honey-colored hair
Pulling tricks like a local virgin
(I never believed in that kind of stuff).

And even though I didn't know how to love you
On days like today I sometimes think of you
Don't think you made a mistake
Like I said, you weren't that strong.

And tell me what you see
When you see your reflection
In the water.

Hands in the water
Are claws that seem to tremble
I cleaned you up, I fed you
I discovered that line on your back.

Hands in the water.
