Water Finds Its Way Lyrics

You can hide behind a mask, behind a screen, behind a casket

Curse your neighbors as they're walking down the street

Paint shadows on the walls, run naked down the halls

Ball your fists and cry and spit and stamp your feet

You can hide inside your head or crawl beneath the bed

Hold your breath and try not to make a sound

You can change your name to Job, don a scapular and robe

And pray what goes around won't come around

But times change, water finds its way

No one can hope to stand against the tide

And heaven help the fool who tries

You can kiss me in a week, please don't mumble when you speak

It's hard enough to hear you sobbing through the walls

We'll get through this somehow, look back some years from now

And say "we're stronger than we realized after all"

We'll plant a garden in the spring, build a birdhouse by the swing

And a sunflower teepee for the kids

We'll quit our 9-5s, reinvigorate our minds and trust that it will work out in the end

'Cause times change, water finds its way

No one can hope to stand against the tide

And heaven help the fool who tries

Well they don't make 'em like they used to except for hypocrites and voodoo

And rubber bands and mousetraps and bad advice

And though our fears have different names we stand and face them all the same

And try to build from ashes something nice

And pray to god what happened once won't happen twice

'Cause times change, water finds its way

No one can hope to stand against the tide

And heaven help the fool who tries
