Silverstein › Lyrics › Love with Caution

The river's running fast right now
It's the time of year the water cleanses itself
Running wild but always in control
And now's the time to sever the ties
To habits that we can't discuss by trying to sell

Break away this fear until it disappears
I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink
I just want to float through the sea
Are you holding me down? Are you holding me up?
Or are you slowly drowning me?

There's something to be said for luck
It's better than being good
When half of being good is being lucky, anyways
We're spreading out, we're harder to hit
Become a moving target, drop your burden and abandon it

Break away this fear until it disappears
I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink
I just want to float through the sea
Are you holding me down? Are you holding me up?
Or are you slowly drowning me, slowly drowning me?

I remember the day when I could walk right down the streets
And feel so confident and know every thing's okay
Take my hand, don't let go but please remember
Hearts can grow, we still have to take it slow

I love with caution and trust alone
I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink
I just want to float through the sea
Are you holding me down? Are you holding me up?
Or are you slowly drowning me?

I'm not ready to swim, I'm not going to sink
I just want to float through the sea
Are you holding me down? Are you holding me up?
Or are you slowly drowning me, slowly drowning me?
