Brightest Water by Wander a.m. Lyrics
[Intro]
Get money movin' it out, go on and settle it
How high, teetering out, it's just a movie set
Heat comin' figure it out, go on and settle it
How high can you go now, there's no avoiding it
Get money movin' it out, go on and settle it
How high, teetering out, it's just a movie set
Heat comin' figure it out, go on and settle it
How high can you go now
[Verse 1]
Mid life crisis at just nineteen
I hope I'll wake up and swear it was a dream
A pretty good one despite the shit I thought I'd seen
Lemme set the scene for you this surface was too clean
Most nights feelin' outta energy I miss
Feeling of a living made without a next step
Clock would go forever couldn't care what I forget
But there I was, thinking it was always good like this it seems like
High school into college then the rest of my life
Am i a product of popular thinking and a wonderful lie?
The multiple of pop culture and an unpurposeful life?
What purpose should i serve if the future's all that I rely on Trigger fingers turned into Twitter fingers at seventeen and Twitter yearnings turned into trigger warnings in all I see
Told my friends not to think like this, I didn't wanna lie but I
Forgot that i was gonna be alright
Get it?
[Chorus]
And I haven't seen a green force like the lightning
Strike, summer was a mine, nothing like an endless trophy
Brightest water keep sneaking up behind me
Take me for a swim, I been dry too long this drought ain't ending
Shimmer on the [breath], green gold just remind me
Why I'm fizzing out tonight, the thought of hunger's just a feeling
Brightest in the motion picture teach a fun reflection
Teach me how to see and take my eyes I'll take a better story
[Verse 2]
Poison wrapped me up inside, I couldn't feel 'til I
Wrapped myself around the snake and dug a stake to
Worship at the time it seemed a hero uninspired by the
Time I did a sacrifice to make it through the gates
Shut out at the front, trapdoor let me down
A hundred years I fell, although I Thought I'd drowned
No water to quench my thirst, no head to hold my crown
Wanted a mighty sword instead I melted it down into the
Barbed wires around my home peek inside
You'll see a boy who got high, should've died trying
And the man who fell asleep but he couldn't fantasize
Neither sex, dreams, true volition, promised eyes
I would always think to myself I'd never lie
And I remember I was telling myself I'd always fly
And I don't wanna stand in line, I don't wanna stand in line
I remember telling you that I'm never gonna die (Woo!)
[Chorus]
And I haven't seen a green force like the lightning
Strike, summer was a mine, nothing like an endless trophy
Brightest water keep sneaking up behind me
Take me for a swim, I been dry too long this drought ain't ending
Shimmer on the [breath], green gold just remind me
Why I'm fizzing out tonight, the thought of hunger's just a feeling
[Post-Chorus]
Remember I was perfect
Remember it was clear
All the time I talked about were better days
I just thought that they were near
I thought it would be perfect
It's just another heatwave
Think I'm thinking the wrong questions
And now I'm
Left crawling the rooftops with a -
Get money movin' it out, go on and settle it
How high, teetering out, it's just a movie set
Heat comin' figure it out, go on and settle it
How high can you go now, there's no avoiding it
Get money movin' it out, go on and settle it
How high, teetering out, it's just a movie set
Heat comin' figure it out, go on and settle it
How high can you go now
