“Takin’ On Water”
Just a wasted wish in the wishin’ well
But you don’t know, I’ve been here before
I’m just one too many miles from shore
And I’m takin’ on water and I’m goin’ down
Takin’ on water, that’s what I’m doin’ now
Takin’ on water with only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground
Oh, I’m already in, in too deep
I know you won’t be there to rescue me
I’m already feel it, right through my chest
I’m afraid if I taste it, I might not catch my breath
And I’m takin’ on water and I’m goin’ down
Takin’ on water, that’s what I’m doin’ now
Takin’ on water with only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground
Why is a woman always thinkin’
Just because a man is sinkin’
He’s gonna drown
But I’m takin’ on water, goin’ down
Takin’ on water, that’s what I’m doin’ now
Takin’ on water, there’s only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground
And I’m takin’ on water, goin’ down
Takin’ on water, that’s what I’m doin’ now
Takin’ on water with only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground
Takin’ on water, goin’ down
Takin’ on water, that’s what I’m doin’ now
Takin’ on water with only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground
Takin’ on water, goin’ down
Takin’ on water, that’s what I’m doin’ now
Takin’ on water with only one way out
