lyrics

I never planned all this babe but now we’re here
I can’t complain, my whole self lies in your hands
So let’s get this over with, shall we?
Let’s just get it over with

I never planned all this babe but now we’re near
I can confess, you know me like the back of your hand
So let’s get this over with, shall we?
Let’s just get it over with

Waist-deep is where we’re standing now
Waist-deep in quicksand
See the sparrows hover above our heads
As we stare thick as thieves cemented into the ground
Waist-deep is where we’re standing now
Waist-deep in quicksand
See the budding trees above our heads
As the ground sucks us in deeper and deeper down

I never asked for this babe but now we’re near
And distant bells resounding so loud and clear
Let’s get this over with, shall we?
Let’s just get it over with

I never planned all this babe but now we’re near
My foolish self now lies in the palm of your hand
So let’s get this over with, shall we?
Let’s just get it over with

Waist-deep is where we’re standing now
Waist-deep in quicksand
See the sparrows hover above our heads
As we stare thick as thieves cemented into the ground
Waist-deep is where we’re standing now
Waist-deep in quicksand
See the budding trees above our heads
As the ground sucks us in deeper and deeper down
