Wallflowers

That ain?t a parachute
That ain?t a rip cord
That ain?t a body of water
We?re headed for
There?s so little time left
So much to be done
Even you are going to need someone
That ain?t a trick of light
Or the morning haze
Coming in from the lake
Getting into your eyes
It?s the invisible breath
Of a storm on the rise
That I feel whenever you arrive
I may not be quick
I maybe never was
But tell me what the hell it is
That you?ve become
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn?t get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldnt get to hold you
This ain?t no righteous love
Even a good one
These ain?t the kinds of returns
That I was thinking of
I?m unbearable now
You ain?t seen nothing yet
You?ll see me dead
Before you see me quit
That ain?t a jug of wine
That you?ve been drinking from
Now lay back now baby
Let your fever come
I will bury you in
Just to dig you out
I haven?t a use
For being proud
The deeper the slide
The higher the rise
Now dont be disappointed how Im using my line
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn?t get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldnt get to hold you
I think I made a mistake
I think I pushed when you said wait
But I never get to hold you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I followed you deep into a barren field
There was someone you were running from
When I needed to sleep
That?s when you disappeared
But I did get the impossible done
Now I always knew
That there was God inside you
I just never did learn which one
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn?t get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldnt get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn?t get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I would never get to hold you
