Mud in your hands (versie 2)

Verse

Riverbank is darkening

Your shoulder against mine

Fingers tracing the shape of my collarbone

I lose count of what I said next

You just pull me down past your knees

The mud starts pulling us under before we see it coming

Is this where we stop or start to move again?

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel that current trying to take us now?

Every step we make is already a wave going out

Are these feet still mine on this river floor?

Or am I just following the way your body's pulling for more

Chorus

Mud in your hands, mud in my hair

You're not letting go and neither am I there

The river's taking us but it can't keep our skin apart

We fall into it like one heartbeat, then start

Mud in your hands, mud in mine

This is where we learn to stay within

Verse

Your hand finds mine as the water rises fast

I don't know how long my feet have been walking past

The current's sweeping us out through a bend in the trees

Every breath I take feels like it's moving with your knees

Do you remember what we said about drowning tonight?

I didn't say no, but maybe that was all right

Maybe we're not sinking as fast as I thought we'd be when I lose sight of the bank

You keep pulling me down where the riverbed starts to curve

Do you feel like something's finally giving us up for real this time?

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel that current trying to take us now?

Every step we make is already a wave going out

Are these feet still mine on this river floor?

Or am I just following the way your body's pulling for more

Chorus

Mud in your hands, mud in my hair

You're not letting go and neither am I there

The river's taking us but it can't keep our skin apart

We fall into it like one heartbeat, then start

Mud in your hands, mud in mine

This is where we learn to stay within

Bridge

Maybe this isn't drowning at all.

Just a baptism where I finally stop trying to breathe alone.

You said go deeper and I went with the flow.

Now here's the part where our bodies turn into one river to go.
