Find Me Another

I've been thinking for some time about
Loneliness and love
And all those bitter songs I always hear
Never knew before just what the words
Were speaking of
But that bridge is just a half-hour drive from here

And I can still hear water calling
Still see where the barrier ends
And that thin divide is thinner than before
And that bitter song is playing
In the car or in my head
I could take the leap if I unlock the door

Someone say the words I'm thinking
So I don't have to speak
'Cause soon enough, I'm sinking
And the waters run too deep
All the truths I'm keen on giving
I don't have the heart to sputter
'Cause I think I've lost the point of living
So please, find me another

I could write a list-- and yes, I have
Of everything that's good
Every treasure, every lovely thing you've said
But that list is turning quickly
Into a guilty list of "shoulds"
And the hardest one is getting out of bed

Someone say the words I'm thinking
So I don't have to speak
'Cause soon enough, I'm sinking
And the waters run too deep
All the truths I'm keen on giving
I don't have the heart to sputter
'Cause I think I've lost the point of living
So please, find me another

I could play this song for everyone
And maybe they'd be proud
And they'd understand the things I've never told
But it's winter soon
And that bitter song has never been so loud
It's a half-hour drive and the water's getting cold

Someone say the words I'm thinking
So I don't have to speak
'Cause soon enough, I'm sinking
And the waters run too deep
All the truths I'm keen on giving
I don't have the heart to sputter
'Cause I think I've lost the point of living
So please, find me another
