Oh, beating heart, don't give up on me now
My thirsty veins are crying out
I'm sick of the shake, I'm sick of the taste
I'm sick of the cold kiss of pavement
I need you for the engine in this operation
Like I need my lungs in this charade
What a beautiful scene we make
Don't let it go to waste
There must be something in the water
We've been a ticking clock all summer
The hours, they go so slow
When I'm running low, running low on you
Running low on you
Oh, paper ships, give me safe pa**age home
Under the burning bridges glow
So stay where you are, don't come in too close
The things that I touch turn to ghosts
Where would you be?
You have to answer anyway, out on your own
Or that haunted place you stay
Disaster is like a wake, it follows you set to break
There must be something in the water
We've been a ticking clock all summer
Counting the seconds down, the hours they go so slow
When I'm running low, running low on you
There must be something in the water
We've been a ticking clock all summer
Counting the seconds down, the eleventh hour
Running low on you, running low on you
Shout over the steeples in this church town
Promise to keep me if I get out, promise to keep me
Because I'd throw the fight if you would catch me
Shout over the steeples in this church town
Promise to keep me if I get out, promise to keep me
Because I'd throw the fight if you would catch me
If you would catch me, if you would catch me
There must be something in the water
We've been a ticking clock all summer
The hours they go so slow
When I'm running low, running low on you
There must be something in the water
We've been a ticking clock all summer
Counting the seconds down
The eleventh hour, running low on you
Running low on you
Running low on you
Running low on you
Running low on you
Running low on you
