The Reservoir - Small Forward

Another day, whats my move

I could wade in the water 'till it cuts clean through

I’m needing oxygen

Your sideways look kept me at bay

I’m asking for a friend, if you’d like to stay

Was I too obvious

Those winds came running down the reservoir

I was outside tending flowers by the car

You were sending sound advice from afar

In my arms, my arms deceive you

They pull you close

But never see it through

Both these hands have lots to live up to

(Instrumental Break)

We drove around in figure eights

We best go back, it’s getting late

I’m losing you again

There’s no one left to make a sound

That night came over me and washed me down

I’m breathing oxygen

Those winds came running down the reservoir

I was outside tending flowers by the car

You were sending sound advice from afar

In my arms, my arms deceive you

They pull you close

But never see it through

Both these hands have lots to live up to

(Instrumental Break)

(Bridge)

Stay wide awake

I could all the way through

My room has been breaking in two

I’d hold you if you only knew

(Outro)

I want it all, I wanna leave this house right now

I want it all, I wanna see you fall apart

I seen it all, I’ve seen a few good friends leave town

Friends leave town
