Water Leaking, Water Moving Songtext

von Jeffrey Lewis

Water goes not of its choosing
Waterfalls and water dropping
Water has no way of stopping

Water goes down, water went into me, 90%
But water can't try, never will, it's my 10% that fights uphill
And when I'm dead and the water crawls out, all that 90% falls out
And all that's left are the bones that rattle the feet that climbed and thoughts that battled
That's the part with the gifts and flaws
The water just obeys nature's laws

Just obey and just give in and follow the rest have been
But I had to fail and go be lonely just to learn I had my own way
The things I want might just be trouble
I might be left with only rubble
But I've got too much confidence to only do things that make sense

When you were young you got good grades
It always seemed you had it made
When I was young and people liked me and told me all the things I might be
But everything was unpredicted, who knows just what might have fixed it?
And time tries to pass in a torrent but I claw against the current

Because water's leaking, water's moving
Water goes not of its choosing
Waterfalls and water dropping
Water has no way of stopping

Water goes down, water went into me, 90%
But water can't try, never will, it's my 10% that fights uphill
And when I'm dead and the water crawls out, all that 90% falls out
And all that's left are the bones that rattle the feet that climbed and thoughts that battled
That's the part with the gifts and flaws
The water just obeys nature's laws
