Lyrics

Lead you over to the water
Said "hold it down until it does not breathe."
Tried drowning it on dry land for too long
But it was not supposed to be
This recklessness might kill you
But I know you would miss it if it died
This recklessness is not a curse
It's just the old convictions runnin' out of time

Pass me on over
Let it pass me by
We'll keep on movin'
Leave this shit behind
Take all our money
But ya know we'll never quit
Pass me on over
But don't pass
Me back to this

Birds on empty watertowers
Owned it all but did not own a thing
Prisoners of dry land for to long
Until only our love remained
By this river, we laugh loud
And leave for dead what we cannot explain
Head out to the hiding place
Covered in the strong arms of the aspen trees

Pass me on over
Let it pass me by
We'll keep on movin'
Leave this shit behind
Take all our money
But ya know we'll never quit
Pass me on over
But don't pass
Me back to this
