She walks by crying
Those tears say jay-in
Somebody should've told her yesterday
That it all can fade away
She didn't know mmm
Guess she didn't know
Now these sidewalks are leaking
Ooohh shattered feelings leave a trail
I wish I could've held her right before
She would walk into that door
Who knew it'd all
Come tumbling down
If only we could reach out our hands
And somehow just understand and see what this world has planned
We'd be rising from quicksand
(Quicksand) Quicksand
If only we could hear what's unsaid
Then I could make her face dry again
And we could rewrite this end
And we'd be rising from quicksand
Rising from quicksand
Now her lips keep shaking
Across the street I feel her breaking
She wonders what's the use of this heart
If it only tears apart
If I would've known
I would've saved her from this beating
If only we could reach out our hands
And somehow just understand and see what this world has planned
We'd be rising from quicksand
(Quicksand) Quicksand
If only we could hear what's unsaid
Then I could make her face dry again
And we could rewrite this end
And we'd be rising from quicksand
Rising from quicksand
She's been fighting in a war alone
It's getting hard to carry on
She's dying but nobody knows knows
If only every single day
I could take away the pain
The sand would fade away
And we'd be rising
If only we could reach out our hands
And somehow just understand and see what this world has planned
We'd be rising from quicksand
(Quicksand) Quicksand
If only we could hear what's unsaid
Then I could make her face dry again
And we could rewrite this end
And we'd be rising from quicksand
Rising from quicksand
