Skinny dip tock ticking on the clock
like the time was for the taking
you and me down by the swimming hole lying naked
to the world outside we were blind, just looking for salvation
not a lover or a mother, you can’t lay me down at night and whisper and my ear
tell me everything is gonna be alright
but I’m still sleeping next to you
wondering what I’m gonna do when you decide it’s time for something new
When you go I hope that you know
that I feel my heart breaking every time I see that you’re walking away
and it doesn’t get any easier to say
that it’s all the same to me if you stay or if you leave
cause every time we get together
it’s like you came in on the wind and blew that stormy weather out to sea
we’re in the eye of the hurricane just you and me
I’m starting to wonder if it’s not worth it cause when you’re gone this hurt
it makes it all so uncertain.
When two brothers share the same love but not the one for each other
oh there’s bound to be trouble
somehow we made it through
learned how to endure those things that might divide us
in spite or in righteousness
but these wounds have cut me open and your blood runs through me
just like my own does
and sometimes I don’t feel anything pulsing in my veins
and I wonder if I could ever love anybody else the same
When you go I hope that you know
that I feel my heart breaking every time I see that you’re walking away
and it doesn’t get any easier to say
that it’s all the same to me if you stay or if you leave
cause every time we get together
it’s like you came in on the wind and blew that stormy weather out to sea
we’re in the eye of the hurricane just you and me
I’m starting to wonder if it’s not worth it cause when you’re gone this hurt
it makes it all so uncertain.
