Salt Water - Klaas

Salt water surrounded me all my life From way back in time I smelled the water with my throat dry The ocean sped by Was you could drown in it's solution On the ocean floor The chance to have that thirst and never hide Cause it takes a hold, and it goes down through the bloodline And it tracks so bold, Couldn't tell the truth from the lie To the sons and daughters, were they left deaf, dumb and blind Do they take so bold, do they dine in white cooling wine It's not surprising that it goes so We cut off our nose In a state of bragadocia But if you think that's a joke You might get caught up in that motion Cause it looks benign But if you're desperate it's holy wine Cause it takes a hold, and it goes down through the bloodline And it tracks so bold, Couldn't tell the truth from the lie To the sons and daughters, were they left deaf, dumb and blind Do they take so bold, do they dine in white cooling wine Do they take so bold, do they start to die undefined Do they take so bold, do you see that thirst in their eye When I hit that role, I know the truth from the lie When I hit that bold, I will know that truth from the lie I'll know the truth from the lie I'll know the truth from the lie I'll know the truth from the lie I'll know the truth from the lie

There's still so far to go and I can't feel my toes When the rain soaks through the heels and slips to the sole Yeah, the blades are two feet tall, I wade in green, I'm movin' forward To where? God only knows Feel the wind's harsh refrain, like the clouds gripped my face Saying, "It's alright to run from all this pain" Oh, and when it's time to go, with one last breath that's in my lungs I'll scream, "It's all for love," I'll scream, "It's all for love" Come and kiss me, salt water Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees I'm free in salt water Embrace the deep and leave everything It was just a dream I can see it, up ahead, where the sky meets the ground After that, there's only moving grey I am filled up with regret with things I did or never said Just leave that well alone And come kiss me, salt water Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees I'm free in salt water Embrace the deep and leave everything It was just a dream (ah-ah) It was just a dream It was just a dream (ah-ah) It was just a dream, was it just a dream? Now I'm standing on the edge, gazing into Hell Or is it somethin' else? I just can't tell When there's nothin' left, I'll close my eyes and take one step And say, "Well, here it goes," I'll say, "Well, here it goes" Come and kiss me, salt water Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees I'm free in salt water Embrace the deep and leave everything It was just a dream

We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today's another day to find you Shying away I'll be coming for your love Okay Take on me Take on me Take me on Take on me I'll be gone In a day or two Take on me Take on me Take me on Take on me I'll be gone In a day or two So needless to say I'm odds and ends But I'll be stumbling away Slowly learning that life is okay Say after me It's no better to be safe than sorry Take on me Take on me Take me on Take on me I'll be gone In a day Take on me Take on me Take me on Take on me I'll be gone In a day or two
