Death Cab For Cutie - Waterfalls lyrics

A lonely mother gazing out of the window
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam
She'll be by his side
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
'Cause he can't seem to keep
Himself out of trouble
So he goes out and he makes his
Money the best way he knows how
Another body lying cold in the gutter
Listen to me

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the
Lakes that you're usеd to
I know that you're gonna have it
Your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast

Littlе precious has a natural
Obsession for temptation
But he just can't see
She gives him loving that
His body can't handle
But all he can say is, "Baby it's good to me"
One day he goes and takes
A glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Three letters took him to
His final resting place y'all don't hear me

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the
Lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it
Your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the
Lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it
Your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the
Lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it
Your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the
Lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it
Your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
