lyrics

Having been here before, I’m cautious
Stepping back from the edge of the cliff
Pulling my coat tight around my shoulders
Keeping my eyes straight ahead

So I will talk about the things that seem to matter
Like trees and houses and getting about in the world of strangers
Me, the tough guy, no problem getting by
Well, it’s true, it’s all true, but not quite as true as

If I were to reveal the way that I feel
Step over the edge, I’d be swept away
Quintessential woman plunged in the ocean
I’d be lost, I’d be drowning

And so we will dance around each other, taking cover
Behind ambiguities, avoiding over-exposure
When all I want to do is wallow in you
And drift away with the next tide

But if I were to reveal the way that I feel
Step over the edge, I’d be swept away
Quintessential woman plunged I the ocean
I’d be lost, I’d be drowning

So haul me into shore with your rescue boat, keep me afloat
Just toss me a line I can hold won’t you save my sinking heart
Haul me into shore with your rescue boat, keep me afloat
Just toss me a line I can hold onto and save my sinking heart
