Four walls, a roof, and plenty of
attention and food all my life.
Don't you think that'd be enough
To learn how to love you?
I'm sorry I don't always know
just what to say, how to say it,
and how to let the small things go.
You make it look so easy to do.
'Cause if you're the River than I must be the spout.
Where you deliver, I barely spit it out.
You know that no one wants a taste unless it's flowing cool and clean.
You're what love is made of.
My imitation's cheap.
Honest, I don't remember when
I had a thought pass through my head not about me in the end
and I don't know how to curb it.
Can't help but wonder why I don't
ever feel the icey touch of pointed fingers, told you so's.
Heaven knows I've earned it
'Cause if you're the River than I must be the spout.
Where you deliver, I barely spit it out.
You know that no one wants a taste unless it's flowing cool and clean.
You're what love is made of.
My imitation's cheap.
I don't want to lose you
and I know you're not a game I'm playin.
When will I ever understand?
The more I know it
the less I want to show it.
Love means folding with a winning hand.
'Cause if you're the River than I must be the spout.
Where you deliver, I barely spit it out.
You know that no one wants a taste unless it's flowing cool and clean.
You're what love is made of.
My imitation's cheap.
