You asked me to jump in the river, Last I was here I nearly drowned, You assure me it's safe, like a dip in the lake But I just stand here and stare at the ground You're tugging and pulling and teasing and mocking, it's all such good fun for you But Im stuck in a daze, reliving the ways the current swirled and looped You're starting to get impatient, we're hand in hand, My feet stuck firm in the sand You're disappointed I couldn't follow through
I'm disappointed too Once an avid aquatic, till that river turned me neurotic I'd love nothing more than to be at ease swimming with you
