"Walk On Water" lyrics

I've tried playin' God and seein' where that gets me
Turns out there's no one there when you don't need anyone
I've said I know the way, but I never leave the city
I hold my head up high so they think I'm holdin' up

It was good until it wasn't

'Cause I've been dancin' with the devil
A little heavy on the pedal
And I can only run from grace for so much longer
If this ice was any thinner, then I wouldn't be a sinner
I wouldn't be a long gone, gettin' gone
'Cause I can read the book, but I can't be the author
'Cause I can't walk on water
('Cause I can't walk on water)

I've bet against the odds, it filled my cup half empty
That's all you'll ever see when you're starin' at the sun
I've said some hurtful things that are hardly worth forgivin'
It's a real hard lesson learned when there's nowhere else to run

It works until it doesn't

'Cause I've been dancin' with the devil
A little heavy on the pedal
And I can only run from grace for so much longer
If this ice was any thinner, then I wouldn't be a sinner
I wouldn't be a long gone, gettin' gone
'Cause I can read the book, but I can't be the author
'Cause I can't walk on water
('Cause I can't walk on water)
