Thirsty Lyrics

They're gonna murder me for being honest, while feigning concern

They were so laid back and just smiling on us, when I knew all the right words

You know I held up for a while, underneath your mirrored sky

Just leaning out the boat, staring in the water

Pretending not to hear you cry

And I've been feeling thirsty, like the earth is thirsty

Like someone could drown me, and I'd still be thirsty

The crime caught in my chest, I was put to the test

On the pedestrian overpass bridge

Heard the angels at the altar crying, comforting the forest

Burning through a million engines

Staring at the passing cars, waiting for the sun to set

Dangling my fingers in the fence, I made a billboard crucifix

Just a sign of the times, tried to give you what you want

But I don't know how to rewind

And I've been feeling thirsty, like the earth is thirsty

Like someone could drown me, and I'd still be thirsty

Tried to be light in the darkness

Tried to be bright but I confess

I got tired and I undressed

Jumped into the water, dove under the pavement

But I still have my fingers in the fence

Trying to make the passing years make sense

It was pure tenderness when I held you then

Now I'm laying in bed

And I've been feeling thirsty, like the earth is thirsty

Like someone could drown me, and I'd still be thirsty
