Distant Water

It's like you pa*s to me this bitter cup so I can take a sip And I know that it's likely gonna burn But never mind the taste of it, I take what I can get It sure is a hard way to learn I mean look at how I sip your cup of nasty Like I'm lucky for a taste to quench my thirst When love creates an optical illusion I'm gonna see it just the way it was rehearsed If I was dying in the desert I would see shining on the sand True love, like distant water on dry land I liked everything about you, except the way you treated me But that didn't seem to matter much at first I longed for you to fill me like a wino loves his drink But every time you filled me with a thirst If I was dying in the desert I would see shining on the sand True love, like distant water on dry land 'Cause I was looking for a goddess who could save me So I played the worshiping fool Colder your kindness, the more it convinced me You're just that cool, ah Now just look at how I sip your cup of nasty Like I'm lucky for a taste to quench my thirst When love creates an optical illusion I'm gonna see it just the way it was rehearsed If I was dying in the desert I would see shining on the sand True love, like distant water on dry land True love, like distant water on dry land
