Lyrics The Reservoir - Small Forward

The Reservoir

Another day, whats my move
I could wade in the water 'till it cuts clean through
I’m needing oxygen
Your sideways look kept me at bay
I’m asking for a friend, if you’d like to stay
Was I too obvious
Those winds came running down the reservoir
I was outside tending flowers by the car
You were sending sound advice from afar
In my arms, my arms deceive you
They pull you close
But never see it through
Both these hands have lots to live up to
(Instrumental Break)
We drove around in figure eights
We best go back, it’s getting late
I’m losing you again
There’s no one left to make a sound
That night came over me and washed me down
I’m breathing oxygen
Those winds came running down the reservoir
I was outside tending flowers by the car
You were sending sound advice from afar
In my arms, my arms deceive you
They pull you close
But never see it through
Both these hands have lots to live up to
(Instrumental Break)
(Bridge)
Stay wide awake
I could all the way through
My room has been breaking in two
I’d hold you if you only knew
(Outro)
I want it all, I wanna leave this house right now
I want it all, I wanna see you fall apart
I seen it all, I’ve seen a few good friends leave town
Friends leave town
