Wade In The Water

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Hey baby, baby don't you think we're lucky that we had it good for so long

We hit the jackpot, edge we got from where we come from

Poplar trees swaying in the wind, dead quiet

'cept the single engine of a passing headlight

Do you remember what that life was like?

And now your dad project a slideshow on Christmas night

My heart sunk on weekends with the rain outside

Because the cricket's called off, we could've got outright

Right? Right, day to day is cruisy on the mountainside

And bushfires used to only come in summertime

Apart from that it's fine, life's so easy otherwise

Sleepy streets mostly all free of crime

Kind of place to raise a daughter

We can reconcile our fortune in the natural order

But what's around the corner?

I know for sure that if you're ever dragged into the deep

I'll wade into the water

[Chorus: Jane Tyrell]

I'll be staying by your side

I will be staying by your side

Whatever we're facing I won't run

Wherever we're drifting from

I'm staying by your side

[Pre-Verse]

But suddenly you're standing there in front of me, I'm crushing hard

And part of me is too excited

Dive into a love affair, right into each other's arms

Neither of us frightened

Not a single person on the planet could've swapped, nah

Yeah that feeling when you think you're gonna be with someone till you drop

Till you drop, till you drop, till you drop

[Verse 2]

We had been together since forever when the tipping point came

Dam broke, that's when everything changed

We had been through thick and thin but bigger things lurked

Have you ever envisioned your city in flames?

No, neither of us think about when we were of a certain type

Of people that just never thought they were in range

Well, we raised a kid to think the same

The fighting that was taking place well that was always somewhere far away

Channel 24 got it, run it round the clock, got it

Switch channel, get on Twitter, read it, retweet it

Look out your front door, streets are at war streets

Streets to the mall and an army being called

Is the city gonna fall while they tell us stay calm?

With another close call, why are children being armed?

As we join other people tryna flee to the border

Promise if you're at sea then I'll wade in the water

[Chorus: Jane Tyrell]

I'll be staying by your side

I will be staying by your side

Whatever we're facing I won't run

Wherever we're drifting from

I'm staying by your side

[Outro]
