I ASKED FOR WATER
I asked for water
you were the one
who knew me better than I knew myself
you showed me the sun

I asked for water
you drained me dry
you walked off and left me alone
but you left me alive

(chorus)
and oh you let it sting
like a busted banjo string
I thank you for everything
and oh you let it burn
like a candle melts down
I wanta thank you for letting me learn

you were a fever dream
in the heat of the day
you rose from the sidewalk
then shimmered then faded away

and you were a nightmare
my full moon migraine
so I sat back and smiled
and I sang out so sweetly the pain

(chorus)

and I wish you all the best of everything

I asked for water
you were the one
who knew me better than I knew myself
you showed me the sun

I asked for water
you bleached my bones
you were the only one who loved me enough
to leave me alone

(chorus)

and I wish you all the best of everything
