If You Never Got Sick — текст песни (The Wallflowers)

Well that ain`t aparachute
That ain`t a ripcord
That ain`t a body of water
We`re headed for
There`s so little time left
So much to be done
Even you are gonna need someone

That ain`t a trick of light
Or the morning haze
Come on in from the lake
Get it into your eyes
This invisible breath
Of a storm on the rise
That I feel whenever you arrive

And I may not be quick
I maybe never was
But tell me whatever it is that you`ve become
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn`t get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn`t get to hold you

This ain`t a righteous love
Even a good one
These ain`t the kinds of returns
That I was thinking of
I`m unbearable now, you ain`t seen nothin yet
You`ll see me dead before you see me quit

That ain`t a jug of wine that you been drinkin from
Now lay back, now baby and let your fever come
I`ll bury you in just to dig you out
I don`t have any use for being proud
And the deeper the slide
The higher the rise
Now don`t be disappointed how I`m usin mine

Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn`t get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn`t get to hold you

I think I made a mistake
I think I pushed when you said wait
but I never get to hold you

I followed you deep into a berry field
There was someone you were running from
When I needed to sleep that`s when you disappeared
But I did get the impossible done
And I always knew that there was god inside of you
I just never did learn which one

Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn`t get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn`t get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I would never get to hold you
