Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I know that you know

That you've become the target of this hand

With never even askin'

Well, I know that you know

That you're the only thing that I can stand

[Verse 2]

So how could your hair

Have the nerve to dance around like that?

Blowin'

And how could the air

Have the nerve to blow your hair around like that?

[Verse 3]

Well, I'm waitin' for a 90-mile water wall

To take me out of your view

I'm lookin' for a trap door trigger

To drop me out of your view

[Verse 4]

Yes, I'm listenin', I'm listenin'

I can tell that you are serious

You're lookin' for that hurt, look around my mouth

The look of a steep fall, or that's how Hersey put it

[Verse 5]

So you can make another claim

Well, go ahead and make it

So you can make another claim

Well, go ahead and make it

[Verse 6]

Just waitin' for a 90-mile water wall

To take me out of your view

I'm prayin' for a trap door trigger

[Verse 7]

Just waitin' for a 90-mile water wall

To take me out of your view

I'm prayin' for a trap door trigger

[Verse 8]

Yes, I'm listenin'

I can tell you're serious
