 ..........  play 2x
That  ain't a parachute
That  ain't a rip cord
That  ain't a body of water
 We're headed for
There's  so little time left
 So much to be  done
Even  you are gonna need someone
 That ain't a trick of light
 Or the morning haze
 Coming in from the lake
 Getting into your eyes
 It's the invisible breath
 Of a storm on the rise
 That I feel whenever you arrive
 Now I may not be quick
  Maybe never was
 But tell me what the hell it is
  That you've become
 (chorus)
Baby  if you never  got sick
 I wouldn't get to  hold you
Baby  if you never got sick
 I would never get to  hold you
This  ain't a righteous love
 Even a good one
 These ain't the kinds of returns
 I was thinking of
 I'm unbearable now
 You ain't seen nothing yet
 You'll see me dead
 Before you see me quit
 That ain't a jug of wine
 That you've been drinking from
 Now lay back now baby
 Let your fever come
 I will you bury you in
 Just to dig you out
 I haven't a use
 For being proud
  The deeper the slide
  The higher the rise
  But don't be disapointed
  How I usin' mine
 (repeat chorus)
I  think I made a mistake
I  pushed when you said to wait
 But I never get to hold you
 I follow you deep into a barren field
 There was someone you were running from
 When I need to sleep
 That's when you disappeared
 But I did get the impossible done
  Now I always knkew
  There was God inside you
  I just never did learn which one
 (repeat chorus)
