hour follows hour
|
like water follows water
|
everything is governed by the rule
|
of one thing leads to another
|
you can't really place blame
|
cuz blame is much to messy
|
some was bound to get on you
|
while you were tryin to put it on me
|
and don't fool yourself
|
into thinking things are simple
|
nobody's lying still the stories don't line up
|
why do you try to hold on
|
to what you'll never get a hold on
|
you wouldn't try to put the ocean
|
in a paper cup
|
cuz i have had something to prove
|
as long as i know thers something
|
that needs improvment
|
and you know that every time i move
|
i make a woman's movement
|
and first you decide
|
what you've gotta do
|
then you go out and do it
|
and maybe the most we can do
|
then you go out and do it
|
and maybe the most we can do
|
is just to see eachother through it
|
hour follows hour like water in a river
|
and from one to the next
|
we don't know what each hour will deliver
|
we just call it like we see it
|
call it out loud as we can
|
and then afterwards we call it all water over the dam
|
maybe the moral higher ground
|
ain't as high as it seems
|
maybe we are both good people
|
done some bad things
|
i just hope it was okay
|
i know it wasn't perfect
|
i hope in the end we can laugh
|
and say it was all worth it
|
cuz i have had something to prove
|
as long as i know something
|
that needs improvement
|
and you know that everytime i move
|
i make a woman's movement
|
and first you decide what you've gotta do
|
then you go out and do it
|
and maybe the most that we can do
|
is just to see eachother through it
|
we make our own gravity to give weight to things
|
then things fall and they break and gravity sings
|
we can only hold so much is what i figure
|
try and keep our eye on the big picture
|
picture keeps getting bigger
|
and too much is how i love you
|
but too well is how i know you
|
and i've got nothing to prove this time
|
just something to show you
|
i guess i just wanted you to see
|
that it was all worth it to me
