lyrics

If you think you're throwing words to the wise
The first thing that you ever felt, it’s sliding under your belt
To a place that smothers children
Cuts a space between two lives
I've seen you working, wasted and gray
You've got a delicate heart, and listen you would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of
Mothers, sisters, daughters and wives

Listen, I've come to rock this boat
The take and giving leaves no room for the living
And some of you think in loves and lovers
Death in one corner leaves a space in the other, I know

That when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of touching only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

And if you see this world as ugly and thin
Then you'll be so cruel to the touch, you'll
Lose the body you're in
To a land of angry soil that swallows boys and coughs up men
I've seen you taste the salt of your tears
You always stop when you start, and listen you would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of
Mothers, sisters, daughters and wives

Listen, I've come to rock this boat
The take and giving leaves no room for the living and
Some of you think in loves and lovers
Death in one corner leaves a space in the other, I know

That when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of touching only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

I'll raise a glass to being no one else's fool
Raise some question to the rule
who says you'd have to lose a love to find one?
Take the things you don't know
Spread them out in the sun
Two futures melt into one
Who says you have to lose a love to find one? I know

That when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of touching only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

I'm around, I'm around, I'm ok, I'm ok
Alive, I'm alive, I'm the same, I'm the same
We are, yeah, we know we are
We are just looking for something
With my hands in a fist, muscle, skin, jutting bone
We never grew up, we were cut from the stone
That holds you, body and soul
We are all just looking for something
