Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Well, baby, that might be so
I might get to the end of my life
Find out everyone was lying
I don't think that I'm afraid anymore
Say that I would rather die trying
[Verse 2]
Whoa-oh
Swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love from my lips
[Verse 3]
This time, when he swung the bat
And I found myself laying flat, I wondered
What a way to spend a dime
What a way to use the time, ain't it, baby?
I looked at my reflection in the window walking past and I saw a stranger
Just so scared all the time
It makes me one more reason why the world's dangerous
[Verse 4]
Whoa-oh
Swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love from my lips
[Verse 5]
You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Well, baby, that might be so
Tell me what's wrong with having a little faith
In what you're feeling in your heart
Why must we be so afraid
And always so far apart?
[Verse 6]
Whoa-oh
Swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love from my lips
