lyrics

You're the Water

It started on an afternoon
when we were walking side by side in solitude
the trees were smiling like they knew
and you hummed my favorite tune

we became a part of the day
closing in on distance face to face
the silences induce the ache
so I hum my favorite tune

then the sky falls down
and it feels like I’m alone
standing in a river
and you’re the water

crossing lines we never drew
noticing how long it takes to get through to you
you say it’s what you have to do
to hum a different tune

then the sky falls down
and it feels like I’m alone
standing in a river
and you’re the water

oh the way that it goes
makes me act like I don’t even care
so the better half of me
lies down before the words appear

visions of our past take shape
and I start to resemble my mistakes
I think about you every day
picture us hummin’ my favorite tune

then the ground starts to shake
and it feels like I’m alone
then the ground starts to shake
and it feels like I’m alone
then the ground starts to shake
and it feels like I’ve done wrong

I watched you slip right through my fingers,
just like water
