Lyrics:

Verse
If only my problems were like water
they could be boiled away
and watching the steam drift upward,
watching my problems drift away.

Pre-Chorus:
And watch the steam turn and twist,
watch it all drift away.
Look how it rises and lifts
watch my problems drift away.

Chorus:

Ohh ohhh ohhh
