To stop the flood of warmth before it even starts
Like a row
Like a row
It would make me blind to what I thought would always be
I need to fight from pulling away
The dam would break like a row
And if my lips could only speak the name
And every hour of every day
I sowed a field of rose and reaped to whipping rod
And everything, I've held too tight inside
Could make a part of me die
Like a row
Like a row
Like a row
What is this ice that gathers 'round my heart?
And if my mind could only loose the chain
The only constant in the world for me
Like a row
For all the things I hid away
Like a row
The dam would break
Did we expect that life was ever fair, my God
Like a row
And all the words I could not say
The dam would break like a row
