I Know That Loving by Tindersticks Lyrics

She sings inside me
It's so beautiful
And I'd hear her calling
And I would raise myself
To live up to her love
And not look down on me
Forgiving me again
And I hear her calling

Do you wanna get out of the water?
Do you wanna try and carry on?
I get so alone
I get so alone

She sings inside me
It's so beautiful
And I'd hear her calling
But it's like a waterfall
Falling down on me
Forgiving me again
And I know that loving
[Chorus:]
(Like feet that have never been walked on)
I know that
(Hands that never held no blame)
Can't you see that I guess you're staying
(Eyes that have never cried angry tears)
It's always the same
(A face that never felt that shame)
Well, that's my heart
It's calling out your name

These things inside me
They're like chemical
I see the birds fly
And I'd disgust myself
To be free of that love
Pull myself from under the weight of it all
And I hear her, hear her

[Chorus]
I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up

It's just that quality of forgiveness
Forgiveness is what I need
If I could only get out of the water
If I could only get myself clean
I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up
(Like feet that have never been walked on)
I know that
(Hands that never held no blame)
I'm running on my knees again
(Eyes that have never cried angry tears)
It's always the same
(A face that never felt that shame)

She's standing at the altar
(Like feet never walked on)
I know that she's waiting there
(Like hands never held no blame)
If I could only get out of the water
(No crying, crying)
If I could only get out of here
But I've gotta give it up
(That felt no shame)
I've got to give it up

[Chorus ad lib]
