Fear The Water

Been standing in the corner wondering what you look for
When you’re looking in here
Can’t you close the door love? it’s letting in the warm dust
And it’s irritating me
Like you’re attitude
Maybe I’m not like you
- got a little bit less to lose
And I’m wondering what it would take
For you to see the world like I do

I don’t know why we come here mining out our old fears
As the gullies fill with rain
We’re flooded to the uprights standing in the cold light
And you’re examining me
And what do you expect to find in this state of mind?
No trust to speak of, just disbelief
That you’ll survive living in the hope
That love will find you

Fear the water
Fear the things undone
Fear the horror that salvation may never come
To those of us who don’t believe in love

He was a diver in his twenties, diving for his memories
Hanging out on the ocean floor
I was struggling when he met me, acting kind of crazy
He said “it’s how it goes, you know
Love is like being free
You get in too deep
Caught underneath”
And what was heaven for him once
Was a kind of hell for us together

Fear the water
Fear the things undone
Fear the horror that salvation may never come
To those of us who don’t believe in love

He was in sight
When the waves were crashing over my head
Lost in the blue of my regret
And he left me wise
To the dangers and the glories of love
Lost my way coming up
It’s the same for all of us because we

Fear the water
Fear the things undone
Fear the horror that salvation may never come
To those of us who don’t believe in love
