Water Your Heart (Safe, Sound, and Buried)

Left you defenseless

I waited up to steal everything

and I took your thunder

Brought it down on the street

where it could ring

You screamed inside

‘How could you do this’?

You’re not the boy I knew

Something has changed inside you

Something has changed

My worst defenses

ain’t my rockstar walk and my barstool talk

Devised this plan to catch you

Devised this plan but never followed through

You said I never follow through

Listen doll water your heart

and let it grow

(There’s a chance for some rain tonight

We can walk through the cemetery)

Listen doll water your heart

and let it grow

(Pull it out of your chest it’s just right

In the ground it’s safe sound buried)

It seemed vindictive

Your play on words this story hurts

Swear that you’ve changed

I’ll take your two cents for all it’s worth

I used to know your body in the dark

but now I’m tripping over

all the other names you’ve dropped

Listen doll water your heart

and let it grow

(There’s a chance for some rain tonight

We can walk through the cemetery)

Listen doll water your heart

and let it grow

(Pull it out of your chest it’s just right

In the ground it’s safe sound buried)

It’s been a year now

Since you put me in my place

It’s been a year now

And we still can’t find our way

And there’s nothing I could say

To change the way I’ve been

It’s been a year now

and I still can’t get you out of my head
