"The Taste of Water"

[AMERICAN WOLVES: Michaela Watson • Jack Hector Wolf]

Say that we'll be together, when the waves crack above us

Say that we'll never leave each other fall from high up

Promise me that the ghosts will be just trees

Hold me, kiss me and love me bright, like a fireworks show

Lead me to the church, won't you say those three words?

But when the sun went down, you were laying next to me

I've been following rivers to find someone like you

Been committing crimes, acting like a rebel just to be with you

I don't know the right time to decide to let this obsession go out my mind

Dozens of revelations are in front of me, but I can't recognize which one is a lie

Baby, I need an answer from your lips as soon as possible

Not because my world's falling down, but because I'm afraid to fuck it all

The only way of get rid of this situation is holding on to your arms

But we need to be in the same line to get into this fight

I drown myself on the river just to see if somebody will help me

But, when I see you're the only one that could save me

My mind goes into a state of total fear

'Cause you could jump here to find me and kill yourself in the middle

I want you to love me, but I need you alive to live this

I want you here on my bedroom, but I want you closer than you've been

Let's let things follow their natural way

And find out if forever in love we'll stay

Say that we'll be together, when the waves crack above us

Say that we'll never leave each other fall from high up

Promise me that the ghosts will be just trees

Hold me, kiss me and love me bright, like a fireworks show

Lead me to the church, won't you say those three words?

But when the sun went down, you were laying next to me

I am me, with my sins, my virtues and my pains

So, who are you? Who you used to be? Who you wanna be, babe?

The past is history, the present is taking actions and future's unknown

So let's live our love in the moment and prove new tastes, oh

Hey, I still remember the day we met at the college, do you?

I was all alone, a newbie in a new world, and you were just laughing

Of something your new friends had just said

I must admit, your laugh is only pretty 'cause it's in your face

We can make it work, tell me how you want it

We can make it last, tell me how you want it

I don't wanna ring the alarm before it's necessary

I don't wanna get away if we both still have reasons to stay

I want you to love me, but I need you alive to live this

I want you here on my bedroom, but I want you closer than you've been

Let's let things follow their natural way

And find out if forever in love we'll stay

Say that we'll be together, when the waves crack above us

Say that we'll never leave each other fall from high up

Promise me that the ghosts will be just trees

Hold me, kiss me and love me bright, like a fireworks show

Lead me to the church, won't you say those three words?

But when the sun went down, you were laying next to me
