Lyrics
QUICKSAND
Jenny Bienemann
CHORUS
I know who you are, you fall down so hard
I know who you are, on your knees in the dark
I’ve got your hand when nothing goes as planned
And everything feels just like quicksand
When your words do
The opposite of what you
Want them to do
Find me, I’ll be tugging at your sleeve
CHORUS
Of all the cruel things the darkness
Would lead you to believe
The worst is that you could do something
Or say something and somehow cease
To be mine, you will always be mine
So when what you choose
Is contradicts what you
Thought you would do
Find me, in the air you breathe
Find me, I’ll be tugging at your sleeve
Find me, I’ll be singing you to sleep
CHORUS
