Kinder (Ask For Water)

Lyrics from live performance

[Intro]

I can feel her heartache grounding into the floor

And I am no kinder for it, I am no kinder for it

[Verse 1]

You shouldn't ask for water in your dreams, no

You shouldn't have to ask for anything at all

You shouldn't ask for water

You shouldn't have to ask for water

[Verse 2]

You shouldn't really have to say anything to anyone

You shouldn't have to tape it up on a bedroom wall

You shouldn't ask for water

You shouldn't have to ask for water

[Pre-Chorus]

She's awake, I can hear her under the shower

And its been almost over an hour

And I cannot sleep

What should I say?

She's awake, I can hear the clink of the bracelets dropping on the floor

And I have never missed her more

What should I say?

[Chorus]

What should I say when she eats the stickers off the apple?

That's just one example

What should I say?

What should I say when she eats the stickers off the apple?

That's just one example

And I am no kinder, I am no kinder for it

[Verse 3]

I can hear the floorboards under her feet creaking

It sounds to me like a snake and a mouse are squeaking

I shouldn't ask for water, I shouldn't even have to ask for water

[Verse 4]

She never loses her temperature, and she never cries

But I can light a cigarette off her smile

She shouldn't ask for water, she shouldn't ever have to ask for water

[Pre-Chorus]

She's awake, I can hear her running a shower

And it’s been almost over an hour

And I cannot sleep

What should I say?

I can hear the sound of the bracelets clinking on the floor

I have never missed her more, what should I say?

[Chorus]

What should I say when she eats the stickers off the apple?

That's just one example

I am no kinder, I am no kinder for it

What should I say when she eats the stickers off the apple?

That's just one example

I am no kinder, I am no kinder for it

[Bridge]

I can feel her heartache grounding into the floor

I am no kinder for it

I am no kinder for it

I can feel her heartache grounding into the floor

I am no kinder for it

I am no kinder for it

[Chorus]

What should I say when she eats the stickers off the apple?

That's just one example

What should I say?

What should I say when she eats the stickers off the apple?

That's just one example

And I am no kinder, I am no kinder for it
