Lead you over to the water,
Said "Hold it down until it does not breathe"
Tried drowning it on dry land for too long,
But it was not supposed to be
This recklessness might kill you,
But I know you would miss it if it died
This recklessness is not a curse,
It's just the old convictions runnin' out of time

Pass me on over,
Let it pass me by
We'll keep on movin',
Leave this shit behind
Take all our money,
but ya know we'll never quit
Pass me on over,
But don't pass,
Me back to this

Birds on empty watertowers,
Owned it all but did not own a thing
Prisoners of dry land for to long,
Until only our love remained
By this river, we laugh loud
And leave for dead what we cannot explain
Head out to the hiding place,
Covered in the strong arms of the aspen trees

Pass me on over,
Let it pass me by
We'll keep on movin',
Leave this shit behind
Take all our money,
but ya know we'll never quit
Pass me on over,
But don't pass,
Me back to this
