Your heart as dry as your humour

A desert through which I tread

Desperately searching for water

Mirages are all that I get

You’re already asleep when I get into bed

I get up and you’re already gone

It’s just how it is that’s what everyone says

But it’s been like this for too long

Let’s dive deeper

We’ve only each other to fear

Let’s dive deeper

Try to fall back in love before we come back up for air

My love for you is a river

A Taniwha at each turn

I overwhelm you each winter

But soothe you when summer returns

I am breaching the banks, spilling over the line

You retreat but I want you to swim

You wanna stay in the heat and the dry

But we’re dying so get the fuck in

Let’s dive deeper

We’ve only each other to fear

Let’s dive deeper

Try to fall back in love before we come back up for air

For air

A Taniwha at each turn

But soothe you when summer returns
