We're an oyster cracker on the stew And the honey in the tea We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two In the black coffee The golden crust on an apple pie That shines in the sun at noon We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky But we're gonna be sinkin' soon In a boat that's built of sticks and hay We drifted from the shore With a captain who's too proud to say That he dropped the oar A tiny hole has sprung a leak In this cheap pontoon Now the hull has started growing weak And we're gonna be sinkin' soon We're gonna be sinkin' soon We're gonna be sinkin' soon Everybody hold your breath 'Cause we're gonna be sinkin' soon We're gonna be sinkin' soon We're gonna be sinkin' soon Everybody hold your breath And down and down we go Like the oyster cracker on the stew The honey in the tea The sugar cubes, one lump or two? No thank you, none for me We're the golden crust on the apple pie That shines in the sun at noon Like the wheel of cheese high in the sky Well, we're gonna be sinkin' soon

I'm always in my head It's the only place you are Locked inside my mind, it's why you never leave A 1000 lies, I just close my eyes There will stay in twinding love Behind my leeds I watch you smile Maybe we just talked a while Protected by walls, ri of lies Rise and we'll fall and we'll laugh together As one innocent and proud moment I stare at the sky and I cry and I cry and I cry 'Cause you don't the things I'm dreaming of You don't know the things I'm rising above You don't the life I've come to love You don't know, you don't know, you don't know Time is running out This life I'm livin' is one and done So I look to the road that goes over the montain I look to the valley beyond that river I look in my heart and I hope and I pray For something to lead me the righteous way 'Cause you don't know the things I'm going through You don't know the things I don't wanna do You don't know the lies I tell myself You don't know, you don't know, you don't know You don't the things I'm dreaming of You don't know the things I'm rising above You don't the life I've come to love You don't know, you don't know, you don't know You don't know, you don't know, you don't know You don't know, you don't know, you don't know

It's been 37 days Since you turned and walked away Baby, you were foolish, you were wrong You should've made it better You broke the promise you made 'Cause you were jealous and afraid Baby, I was rising, you let me down We should've stood together Now I can't breathe If I'm not breathing with you I can't sleep If all I'm dreaming is you Can't you see I've got no air without you I can't breathe I can't breathe So I cracked and called you today And the tears froze on my face 'Cause you said we were over You were so cold We should've been forever Now I can't breathe If I'm not breathing with you I can't sleep If all I'm dreaming is you Can't you see I've got no air without you Now I can't breathe I can't breathe We could have everything But all we got is heartache and pain I can't catch my breath It's getting harder to speak You should be proud of me But you're too insecure and too vain We should've been forever I wanted you forever Now I can't breathe If I'm not breathing with you I can't sleep If all I'm dreaming is you Can't you see I've got no air without you I can't breathe I can't breathe Why couldn't you just be a man Why couldn't you just understand All I wanna do is hold your hand Why couldn't we walk hand in hand Why couldn't you just be a man Why couldn't you just understand All I wanna do is hold your hand
