(A couple of edits to my initial submission)
I have probably listened to this song 1000 times and during that period sought the lyrics many times over with zero luck. That said, I broke down yesterday and wrote them up as best I have discerned. Here you go.
Stretching myself across ground
Watching the air breath over
Thinking bout how many times
I wish I could swim to you
But too much sand has fallen
And I'm afraid of the water
No longer I question whether
To shed my blood or my conscience for you
A few people making you stumble
And many who want you to fall
As sure as they carry your problems
Just can't seem to fix them at all
I ???? a word some time ago
Could never escape your thoughts
And whatever degree
of promises you had
Just turn to whether or not it should
Just muck(?) out all of your doing
Leave everyone locked in the hall
The ones that don't want you to stumble
Could be the ones making you fall
Please, don't let me fall in the water
You know I'm afraid of the water
Don't let me fall in the water
Cuz I don't think that this is like you, at all
Always thought you could just get up and walk away
Just walk away from it all
Now your using the dogs that once chased you down
On the people you keep in the hall
And all the others who held you up high
And the others who watched to wait
For the next time you stumble and fall
I hope that it won't be too late
But you left me out here in this ocean
With no way to walk to your door
And I'm so afraid of the water
You know I cant swim anymore
, oh noooo
Please, don't let me fall in the water
You know I'm afraid of the water
Don't let me fall in the water
Please don't let me fall in the water
You know I'm afraid of the water
Don't let me fall in the water
Cuz I don't think that this is like you, at all
No, I don't think that this is like you at all
