Something In the Water

There's a sheet of paper, college ruled, crumpled on my desk

Filled with the handwriting of a college fool who feels like so much less inside her head

When she's in bed

Hmm, Hmm

Lately it's been seeping out, showing through the wilted plants above her bed

Or maybe it's the creeping thought of you that I thought escaped my head so long ago

Does it show

Hmm, Hmm

Or is there something in the water

Am I just slipping under

You run and take your cover, oh please

These words of confirmation feel more like confrontation

Notice that I'm losing patience, please

Oh the lights are on, no ones home, I thought I turned them off

I guess I'm leaving empty space in hopes that someone looks for long enough to see

The garden in the window isn't doing so good

So good

Is there something in the water

Am I just slipping under

You run and take your cover, oh please

These words of confirmation feel more like confrontation

Notice that I'm losing patience, please

I'm drowning under water

And there are plenty other places that you would rather be

If you have no one else to pretend to be so nice to

Please just take your things and leave

Is there something in the water

Am I just slipping under

You run and take your cover, oh please

These words of confirmation feel more like confrontation

Notice that I'm losing patience, please
