[Verse]

You can almost

Set your watch to it

The mind intuits

Every line you will

One day cross

Nearly traceable

To the vows you make

And the lines you draw

I walked right in

To that big tailspin

And couldn't unsee

What I saw

You and your

London eyes

Blue as a vein

Free and lost

Perfectly ordinary

The day I crossed

That long road

With your fast car coming

[Chorus]

Something's got to give

Got to move, got to make it out alive

Whether or not you decide

To let the wound bleed out this time

Cut the fence, turn the phrase

The workaround won't take

You get out while it's whole

Or stay long enough to break it

[Verse]

Staring down that purple sun

I hear your voice

But I feel no one

I put that symbol up to my eye

Did I get your love

At the cost of my mind?

My mind

Shells and bones

And waterfront homes

Are bound to wash away

In that flood

Those polluted waters

You keep holding off

And drinking from

I see you too well

To let you tell me

You're nothing but ruins your father made

We've all stood under

Those skeleton trees

Hoping for shade

Above, beside, beneath

You'll find a way

You'll find a way

[Chorus]

Something's got to give, got to move

Got to make it out alive

Whether or not you decide

To acknowledge it this time

Kill the sound, cut the wire

The workaround won't take

You get out while it's whole

Or stay long enough to break it

Standing too close to be sure

Who I am or who you were

But I held that infant in my arms

Did I get your love

At the price of my heart?

The gears are grinding away

And you're wasting this running water

I don't trust what you say

But I've come to lose my faith

In everyone

It's righteous as our youth and guilt

It's getting harder to un-quilt

I pull my body out of that crash

Just banking on this feeling to pass

Sometimes I can hear the river sing

When the channels open up to me

It's a little too narrow little too wide

To call it ground, or to call it sky

It's a little too narrow little too wide

To bury your head in your hands this time

It's a little too narrow little too wide

A little too narrow a little too wide

It's a little too narrow little too wide

To bury your head in your hands this time
