78% H2O - Ani DiFranco

When the joy had left your body

And you were locked in to your own thoughts

You used to love to sit by the water

And watched it lapping on the rocks

And every time you put your feet in

You’d cry out and you would pray

But it’s all downhill from here baby

So naturally, i can’t stay

First you’ll roll your eyes to heaven

Say you never had love so divine

But it will go from

More than ever

To not enough

In no time

You will push and

You will push un-

Til you push me away

I hear you cry out for your water

And i know you’ll curse it someday

I guess for me

There’s been a few

Who’ve walked up smiling

And drawn a line

Between so far

And from now on

Yes a big glowing

Line in time

And i’ve been disappointed

I’ve been heartbroken

Yes i too have

Loved from afar

But we are 78% water

Even our pumping hearts
