Wicked Waters

This must be where I lose it all, darling Throw myself into wicked waters Well, I’m tired of feeling guilty Just for wanting a little bit more (a new foundation) I work until I fall down, baby Then I work a little bit more When I was just a small boy Oh, I wanted it all (a new foundation) And now I would be happier To just be standing tall My heart is feeling empty My legs are feeling weak My heads lower than yesterday I stumble when I speak I’m afraid I’ll never be nothing Then I remember James (y'all remember him) Oh, James! I am what I am I’ll make it on this run I’m a new beginning I will learn to love This must be where I lose it all, darling Throw myself into wicked waters You woke me from a stagnant bliss To say we had a child (a new beginning) We’ll raise this one the right way honey We’ll raise him to be wild We’ll teach him ‘bout our brokenness And the things we wish we knew (a new beginning) He’ll stare at us with spiteful eyes And make those mistakes too My heart is feeling empty My legs are feeling weak My heads lower than yesterday Oh, I stumble when I speak Oh no, I’ll never be nothing Then I remember James (y'all remember him) Oh, James! Oh, I am what I am I’ll make it on this run I’m a new beginning I will learn to love I WILL LEARN TO LOVE!
