Distant Water lyrics

It`s like you pass to me this bitter cup
So I can take a sip
And I know that it`s likely gonna burn
But never mind the taste of it
I take what I can get
It sure is a hard way to learn

I mean look at how I sip your cup of nasty
Like I`m lucky for a taste to quench my thirst
When love creates an optical illusion
I`m gonna see it just the way it was rehearsed

Chorus

If I was dying in the desert
I would see shining on the sand
True love, like distant water
On dry land

I liked everything about you, except the way you treated me
But that didn`t seem to matter much at first
I longed for you to fill me
Like a wino loves his drink
But every time you filled me with a thirst

Chorus

`Cause I was looking for a goddess who could save me
So I played the worshipping fool
The colder your kindness
The more it convinced me
You`re just that cool

Now just look at how I sip your cup of nasty
Like I`m lucky for a taste to quench my thirst
When love creates an optical illusion
I`m gonna see it just the way it was rehearsed

Chorus

True love like distant water
On dry land
