One southern summer night I was humbled by A six-string and a girl in torn-up jeans Each burning verse I heard Touched a deeper nerve The lovers, lies, redemption flooring me 'Til the truth welled up in my eyes Thought I was stone Turns out I'm just water Chilled to the bone By Athena's red-haired daughter My head said to keep calm But all my insides were spinning Cuz she broke my heart Every three minutes I was cracking there In my folding chair The sun setting on who I used to be just trying to catch a breath, Thump, thumping in my chest, Her light shining right through the wounds in me And no place for me to hide Thought I was stone Turns out I'm just water Chilled to the bone By Athena's red-haired daughter My head said to keep calm But all my insides were spinning Cuz she broke my heart Every three minutes With soaring notes The words she wrote Became a song my soul was singing Thought I was stone Turns out I'm just water Chilled to the bone By Athena's red-haired daughter My head said to keep calm But all my insides were spinning Cuz she broke my heart Every three minutes
