Die From The Water

You can die from the water down here, they say.
I don’t care, I know I’m dying anyway.
I felt the fire go out a long time ago.
I want to feel the wind before the time I gotta go.

Nothing here matters but you and me.
We can fly with the eagle, we can drift out to sea.
I know I talk too much, I can’t walk, I can’t stumble.
The truth of my life is a barely heard mumble.

I lust want to live another day.
I just want to live another way.

I don’t know where I’m from, but it ain’t around here.
I’ll sing this song for you, Baby, then it’s time to disappear.
I drive my GTO through the rain late at night
Wishing I believed it was gonna be all right.

I just want to live another day.
I just want to live another way.

Now the sun’s coming up and my mood is going down.
Another day, another doll, another drive around this town.
I know I gotta change or I know I’m gonna die.
All I really want is a better way to fly.

I just want to live another day.
I just want to live another way.
