The Beths

Knees Deep
Watching light through water I want to bend the way it bends You slice like a knife through the surface But what a thrill to see it mend With no scar, no memory I'm envious Why pretend I'm not Wading in up to the ankles The cold speaks straight to my bones Whole body and soul hesitation I am a coward turned to stone Stay there for centuries So all of history knows about it But hey hey We made it to the longest day And the sun, the wind the earth Are wearing me away The shame! I wish that I was brave enough to dive in But I never have been and never will be I'm coming in hot then freezing completely The shame! I wish that I could say what I've been thinking SongtexteBut I never have done and never will do Still only knees deep I'll never be brave like you Lighten up like a candle I'm as likely to go out You can sigh from the bottom of your lungs Until the house gets blown down One step, then two, then three 'Til I've forgotten how to count them But hey hey We made it to the longest day And the river's ready current Can carry me away The shame! I wish that I was brave enough to dive in But I never have been and never will be I'm coming in hot then freezing completely The shame! I wish that I could say what I've been thinking But I never have done and never will do Still only knees deep I'll never be brave like you The shame! I wish that I was brave enough to dive in But I never have been and never will be I'm coming in hot then freezing completely The shame! I wish that I could say what I've been thinking But I never have done and never will do Still only knees deep I'll never be brave like you Aus Songtexte Mania
