Water Leaking, Water Moving - Jeffrey Lewis

Water goes not of its choosing

Waterfalls and water dropping

Water has no way of stopping

Water goes down, water went into me, 90%

But water can’t try, never will, it’s my 10% that fights uphill

And when I’m dead and the water crawls out, all that 90% falls out

And all that’s left are the bones that rattle the feet that climbed and

thoughts that battled

That’s the part with the gifts and flaws

The water just obeys nature’s laws

Just obey and just give in and follow the rest have been

But I had to fail and go be lonely just to learn I had my own way

The things I want might just be trouble

I might be left with only rubble

But I’ve got too much confidence to only do things that make sense

When you were young you got good grades

It always seemed you had it made

When I was young and people liked me and told me all the things I might be

But everything was unpredicted, who knows just what might have fixed it?

And time tries to pass in a torrent but I claw against the current

Because water’s leaking, water’s moving

Water goes not of its choosing

Waterfalls and water dropping

Water has no way of stopping

Water goes down, water went into me, 90%

But water can’t try, never will, it’s my 10% that fights uphill

And when I’m dead and the water crawls out, all that 90% falls out

And all that’s left are the bones that rattle the feet that climbed and

thoughts that battled

That’s the part with the gifts and flaws

The water just obeys nature’s laws
