High Water

[Verse 1] Tried to face up to the blinding sun Racing for the final word to come Facing up, it's hard to stay devout I can see the sand and it's running out And it's running out [Verse 2] We quote each other only when we're wrong We tear out the threads, move along Can't seem to find common ground I can see the sand and it's running out [Chorus] It was only circumstances But it's the difference It gets in the way No race is run in this direction You can't break even You can't even quit the game [Verse 3] The current drags to the bottom A hemorrhage that moves us around Pulls and beckons in a strong direction High water forever bringing us down I can see the sand and it's running out And it's running out [Chorus] It was only circumstances But it's the difference Gets in the way No race is run in this direction You can't break even You can't even quit the game
