Lyrics Dave Barnes – High Water

It ain’t love if it’s gonna run out
It ain’t peace that you’re fighting about
You build a life on half truths
The other half is gonna get you

We keep forgetting these lessons that life taught us
We’re living on time that’s turning blind eyes upon us
We’re getting up to our neck, little by little
Every lie is like a rising tide, we’re in high water

Ain’t much good is gonna ever get done
When we’re pointing our fingers at everyone
Don’t you see we can’t help it
We’re going and broke and then selfish
Don’t matter what you do

We keep forgetting these lessons that life taught us
We’re living on time that’s turning blind eyes upon us
We’re getting up to our neck, little by little
Every lie is like a rising tide, we’re in high water

What’s gonna keep us from drowning
In the high water
Who’s gonna save our soul
What’s gonna keep us from drowning
Drowning in the the high water
Someone save our soul

We keep forgetting these lessons that life taught us
We’re living on time that’s turning blind eyes upon us
We’re getting up to our neck, little by little
Every lie is like a rising tide, we’re in high water
We’re in high water
