Lyrics
Jump In The River
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.
the phone calls
always left me unsure
they'd never say things of their own accord
I am preoccupied
I can't get them out of my mind
they are terrified
and if you said jump in the river I would
because it would probably be a good idea
you're not supposed to be here at all
it's all been a gorgeous mistake
sick one or clean one
the best one
that God ever made
when I kissed you
you didn't mind
I thought I tasted of too many cigarettes
but you tasted of wine
and I'm not going to change my mind
just because of what they said
the worm has laid eggs in their hearts
but not in my head
(chorus)
there's been days like t
and i liked it all
like the times we did it so hard
there was blood of the wall
and if you said jump in the river I would
because it would probably be a good idea
