"I Know That Loving" lyrics

"I Know That Loving"

She sings inside me
It's so beautiful
And I'd hear her calling
And I would raise myself
To live up to her love
And not look down on me
Forgiving me again
And I hear her calling

Do you wanna get out of the water?
Do you wanna try and carry on?
I get so alone
I get so alone

She sings inside me
It's so beautiful
And I'd hear her calling
But it's like a waterfall
Falling down on me
Forgiving me again
And I know that loving

Like feet that have never been walked on
I know that
Hands that never held no blame
Can't you see that I guess you'll stay
Eyes that have never cried angry tears
It's always the same
A face that never felt that shame
Well, that's my heart
It's calling out your name

These things inside me
They're like chemicals
I see the birds fly
And I'd disgust myself
To be free of that love
Pull myself from under the weight of it all
And I hear her, hear her

Like feet that have never been walked on
I know that
Hands that never held no blame
Can't you see that I guess you'll stay
Eyes that have never cried angry tears
It's always the same
A face that never felt that shame
And I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up

It's just that quality of forgiveness
Forgiveness is what I need
If I could only get out of the water
If I could only get myself clean
And I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up

Like feet that have never been walked on
I know that
Hands that never held no blame
I'm running on my knees for you
Eyes that have never cried angry tears
It's always the same
A face that never felt that shame

She's standing at the altar
Like feet never walked on
I know that she's waiting there
Like hands never held no blame
If I could only get out of the water
You're crying, crying
If I could only get out of here
But I've gotta give it up
That felt no shame
I've got to give it up

Like feet that have never been walked on
I know that, I know that
Hands that never held no blame
Can't you see that I'm running scared
Eyes that have never cried angry tears
I'm running, running
A face that never felt that shame

There's a sound that never alters
Like feet never walked on
It's ringing in my ears
Like hands never held no blame
If I could only get out of the water
You're crying, crying
If I could only get out of here
