Kick & Scream

The river that runs above our house is getting high
Runnin' my mouth is hidin' my chattering teeth at night
Are you scared of something, oh, out of your reach
Do you feel it might take us in our sleep

We can try and kick and scream, we're not gettin' out alive
You know just well as me, it's one of our greatest lies
Let's sit at our kitchen table and stare in each other's eyes
You know I'll try to love you all my life

Well, I recall an old photograph of my dad carrying me
Both our eyes glow red, but the longing feels comforting
He taught me to lose my temper and then got a new family
That's alright, that short fuse will die with me

We can try and kick and scream, we're not gettin' out alive
You know just well as me, it's one of our greatest lies
Let's sit at our kitchen table and stare in each other's eyes
You know I'll try to love you all my life

Magnolia, we planted on our small patch of land
What if there's a flood that rips it from our well-thought-out plan
Flowers fall, short or tall, I'm with you till the end
I'll be there regardless if it stands

We can try and kick and scream, we're not gettin' out alive
You know just well as me, it's one of our greatest lies
Let's sit at our kitchen table and stare in each other's eyes
You know I'll try to love you all my life
