St Lawrence River - Lyrics by Usher David


Lyrics
smells on the air see there its crushing the final impressionthe stains on the paperwhere words fell like water unearth all the changes that never didmatteri think its beginning to freeze herecaught in the rage and the fire of things all the brightness that burnsmeim fumbling through like a child in dark when the nakedness comes i amshocked by the colorthe glorious weight of your skincomes aliveand i never thought i wed make it back so soonmight be nice but i knew youd be your own destroyercomes a timeand i always thought id make it up to youhere please forgive me how could we escape all the bitterness piled uponbitternessheld in the face of the things that i dont understand intellectualizeoverand overthis helplessness suits us its funny how quiet has slipped to ourcornersand worn all our edges away you are watching breathing and bailingwanting and warming and cautionsly waiting for some simple signal tocreep cross your conscienceuncover redemption and oh did i mention i carried you down to thest lawrence riverthe banks running dirty the waters begin to freeze heresolid by morning and ill freeze herewinter by moringcomes a lieand i never thought youd get me back so soonmight be nice but its only if my own destroyercomes aliveand i always knew id make it up to youi saw on your face such a curious grin as i let go your hand i wasdesperate to hold you againbut your sinking to deep in the water outsmarted myself and so easilygave up what i wantedsolid by morningwhat i wantedbe winter by morningcomes aliveand i never thought youd make it up so soonmight be nice but i always knew your my destroyercomes a timeand i always knew id make it up to you
