will you be the water to ease my thoughts?
the river of calm, the one that i flow through.
i sit in the dark, the cold water crashing
only while i sit still, my insides are thrashing

i need to calm,to ease the storm
the water inside, that floods the dorm
a console from the sky
a drip from up high

i have a question for you, my love
can you be the calm from way up above?
can you be the patter from up on the rooftop
the crashing and drowning, the way that the rain drops

can you be the warmth, and the cool all at once?
can you be an award, and i'll be clean for a month.
