The only reason that it's scary getting oldnIs people treat you like you're too big to holdnAnd you still feel just like a kidnnYou call my bluff when I pretend to be at peacenYou take the water that I finally releasenClose your mouth, open your armsnnThat is why I reach for you so muchnI think I'm drowning until we touchnLife is an ocean we fall innWhen you hold me I can swimnnIn this hospital the beds are made of steelnMetal instruments are all some people feelnWhat you need is something soft against your skinnnSo you don't have to pretend to be at peacenI'll take the water that you finally releasenClose your mouth, open your armsnnThat is why you reach for me so muchnYou think you're drowning until we touchnDeath is an ocean we fall innI will hold you while you swim
