Water's Running Dry

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We were thinking we were wise

There was a moment, you and I

We saw it stretch across our lives

Thinking we could make it if we tried

And now this car won't drive this road

There are some things I should've known

There are some things on my mind

But I won't pick up the line

'Cause I don't have the heart to admit

I don't wanna finish what we started

I think you could be an honest man

But I'm a woman who's just too guarded

We know it's a big mistake

Like the other ones we made

Nothing left to do but let it lie

Let's not wait till water's running dry

Now I don't wanna compromise

'Cause, baby, both of us have tried

You know it hurts me letting go

It hurts me more than I can show

I close my eyes, see an open road

There are some things I wanna know

There are some things on my mind

But I don't know how to see it right

'Cause I don't have the heart to admit

I don't wanna finish what we started

I think you could be an honest man

But I'm a woman who's just too guarded

We know it's a big mistake

Like the other ones we made

Nothing left to do but let it lie

Let's not wait till water's running dry

Don't wait up for me

I'm not coming home

I'm not tired

Gonna drive all night

Don't wait up for me

I'm not answering my phone

I'm headed north on the 5 till it's light

Don't wait for me, don't wait for me

Might not hear from me for a while

'Cause I don't have the heart to admit

We can never finish what we started

You couldn't be an honest man

So how could I be the woman you wanted?

It took us so long to find

What was always there in our eyes

Nothing left to do but cut the line

Let's not wait till water's running dry, dry
