Blessed I’ve been by his love, and his longing long before

So easy to acknowledge when there was no one to ignore

And yet, I can’t be bothered to return it anymore

Because now

You’ve come around

And I need you like water

Made a point to learn my language, then you nearly guessed my name

You reach behind my eyes and scratch the braille above my brain

I’d always hoped I’d meet you less directionless and strange

Only now,

My up is down,

And I need you like water

Forgive me for my trespasses toward your beckoned call

And please excuse this all-consuming, overt fatal flaw

But his love does not inspire me, it barely moves me at all

You surround

You’re so profound

And I need you like water

This ordeal is proven tedious, yet it does not suffice

That God is willing to answer prayers, but rarely my advice

And so, I’m finding more and more the need for sacrifice

Though we’re bound

By every pound,

I have never felt smaller

So, I’ll stay down

And while I drown,

I’ll still need you like water
