Echoes - Water

I thought it but it wasn't there
If I think it then it can't be lost
An elephant with matchbox tears
Made rivers we're too scared to cross
What are we running from
The only time we ever lied
We made a bet with father time
A wager for our brittle bones
And to this day
Our debt he owns
What are we running from
And now I do
I gotta thank you for the ordinary life that I lead
Oh
It's my place and time
And now I do
I gotta thank you for this ordinary voice that echoes on
It echoes on
We were simple and concrete
And never popularly known
Until we made a fence of teeth
And it ate our home
And now it's gone
I said
What are we running from
And now I do
I gotta thank you for the ordinary life that I lead
Oh
It's my place and time
And now I do
I gotta thank you for this ordinary voice that echoes on
It echoes on
What are we running from
And now I do
I gotta thank you for the ordinary life that I lead
Oh
It's my place and time
And now I do
I gotta thank you for this ordinary voice that echoes on
It echoes on
It echoes on
