Lyrics
Did you know that was it
You were holdin' out for nothin'
Could you tell by the tone
You were talking alone
Alone, alone (Alone, alone, alone, alone)
You were talking alone
When clouds move through
Do you move too
Or stay inside the gray
Come on let's go take
The laundry to the lake
And put on something soft
Cause someone dared to
Pierce your heart
So sharp you need a surgeon
Someone dared to pierce you heart
Someone dared to pierce you heart
Someone dared to pierce you heart
You need a surgeon
Someone dared to (Surgeon)
Pierce you heart
Someone dared to pierce you heart
But you know that water cleans the blood
Pouring over anguish of a love
That never was
And you know that water cleans the blood
Wash away the shame that became
A toxic trust
Over time
Over time
What is joy, choice or fate
What is hurt, give or take
If you know, should you tell
Or keep it to yourself
Or keep it (Or keep it)
Or keep it (Or keep it)
Or keep it to yourself
When sun shines through
Do you shine too
Or stay inside the shade
Come on let's row, steer
The rudder from the spear
Let the channel run clear
Oh-whoa-whoa-oh-whoa
You know that water cleans the blood
Pouring over anguish of a love
(You know, you know, you know)
That never was
You know that water cleans the blood
Wash away the shame that became
(You know, you know, you know)
A toxic trust, oh
Did you know that was it
You were holdin' out for nothin'
Could you tell by the tone
You were talking alone
What is joy, choice or fate
What is hurt, give or take
If you know (Know), should you tell
Or keep it to yourself
Or keep it (Know)
Or keep it (Or keep it)
Or keep it (Oh-whoa-oh)
To yourself
Or keep it (Know)
Or keep it (Or keep it)
Or keep it (Oh-whoa-oh)
To yourself
