If you should fall to pieces
You know I’ll pick them up
There are so many reasons
I’m never going to get enough
If you should leave this country
You know I’ll come to you
Because you always love me
Oh what I wouldn’t do
Oh what I wouldn’t do

I’ll carry the weight
I’ll do anything for you
My bones may break
But I’ll never be untrue
Woah-oh-oh Woah
Woah-oh-oh Woah
Woah-oh-oh Woah
Oh what I wouldn’t do
Oh what I wouldn’t do

Your love is like an ocean
That always takes me home
Whispering wind is blowing
Telling me I’m not alone
Your love is like a river
That I am floating down
I’ve never been a swimmer
But I know that I’ll never drown
I know that I’ll never drown

The current grows stronger
Under different shades of blue
I’ve fallen in your water
Forget everything I knew
Woah-oh-oh Woah
Woah-oh-oh Woah
Woah-oh-oh Woah
Oh what I wouldn’t do
Oh what I wouldn’t do

Oh the things I never noticed
Opened my ears to the chorus
You have made me listen careful
And you gave me the line
Woah-oh-oh Woah
Woah-oh-oh Woah
Woah-oh-oh Woah
Woah-oh-oh Woah
I’ll carry the weight
I’ll do anything for you
My bones may break
But I’ll never be untrue
The current grows stronger
Under different shades of blue
I’ve fallen in your water
Oh what I wouldn’t do
Oh what I wouldn’t do
Oh what I wouldn’t do
