lyrics

They’re gonna murder me for being honest, while feigning concern
They were so laid back and just smiling on us, when I knew all the right words
You know I held up for a while, underneath your mirrored sky
Just leaning out the boat, staring in the water
Pretending not to hear you cry

And I've been feeling thirsty, like the earth is thirsty
Like someone could drown me, and I'd still be thirsty

The crime caught in my chest, I was put to the test
On the pedestrian overpass bridge
Heard the angels at the altar crying, comforting the forest
Burning through a million engines
Staring at the passing cars, waiting for the sun to set
Dangling my fingers in the fence, I made a billboard crucifix
Just a sign of the times, tried to give you what you want
But I don't know how to rewind

And I've been feeling thirsty, like the earth is thirsty
Like someone could drown me, and I'd still be thirsty

Tried to be light in the darkness
Tried to be bright but I confess
I got tired and I undressed
Jumped into the water, dove under the pavement
But I still have my fingers in the fence
Trying to make the passing years make sense
It was pure tenderness when I held you then
Now I'm laying in bed

And I've been feeling thirsty, like the earth is thirsty
Like someone could drown me, and I'd still be thirsty
