Water

I drank too much coffee today
Even though it won't keep me awake
And I know what you'd say
If I told you I'd been late
To every meeting that I've ever had

I didn't go to your show
My last night in the city
Before I went home
And I know I've been bad
But surely I've been worse
At many other times in my life

I'm sorry I haven't been as present
The back and the forth
Has been weighing on my system
I know that it's wrong
Not to listen and move on
Can't help the indulgence in my nature

And it's killing me
It's a wave and not the sea
So maybe I won't drown this time
And it's felt so wrong
To be driving for so long
I forget that the water's where I'm headed

I've been wearing the shirt that you left
Something old that just makes me upset
And I know it's just cloth
And it's not even soft
But the feeling on my skin makes it worth it

My sister is learning to drive
Down back roads going 35
She drives way too slow
And I think that she knows
It's the only control that we have

I'm sorry I haven't been present
The back and the forth
Has been growing on my system
And I know that it's wrong
Not to feel bad leaving home
Can't help the impatience in my nature

And it's killing me
It's a wave and not the sea
So maybe I won't drown this time
And it's felt so wrong
To be driving for so long
I forget that the water's where I'm headed

And it's killing me
It's a wave and not the sea
So maybe I won't drown this time
And it's felt so wrong
To be driving for so long
I forget that the water's where I'm headed

Oh I forget
That the water
The water
The water
The water
