To Take For Granted.

lyrics

[Chorus]
I don’t take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don’t take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don’t take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it’s planted, they could easily take me down

[Verse 1]
Why can't I get through
Why can't I get through
Why can't I get through to you
You’ll never understand till it’s gone and there’s blood on your hands
Well I know damn well what I give is what I oughta get
But what if what I give is something I alone possess

[Pre-Chorus]
The world could turn itself on its head
It could turn clockwise instead
The earth could spin to west

[Chorus]
I don’t take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don’t take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don’t take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it’s planted, they could easily take me down

[Post-Chorus]
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Just don’t you take me for granted

[Verse 2]
The air in my lungs
It never comes easily
Sometimes my throat constricts and I cannot breathe
I wheeze and pray for a gasp of fresh air
A slip of the tongue
Could rattle a house of cards
Like a snake, suffocate, asphyxiate
There’s no fix, too late
Tipping over, but you seem sober
So where’d that judgment go?

[Pre-Chorus]
The world could turn itself on its head
It could turn clockwise instead
The earth could spin to west

[Chorus]
I don’t take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don’t take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don’t take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it’s planted, they could easily take me down

[Bridge]
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take a photo while you can
We won’t be here for long
Lonely wolf keeps friends as lambs
Starves when they are gone

[Chorus]
I don’t take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don’t take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don’t take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it’s planted, they could easily take me down
I don’t take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don’t take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don’t take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it’s planted, they could easily take me down

[Outro]
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Just don’t you take me for granted
