[Verse 1]
I was shorter than my dad's dining table
You were taller than my bedroom door frame
Hit me hard when I found height don't make a man no
You grew smaller to me that Saturday when
[Verse 2]
You came crashing crawling down through the back brush
Eyes were bloodshot and your leaden voice thin
I said I won't blame you now but I caught your cold somehow
Then you jumped right in
[Chorus]
Oh I wanna give you all of my love
But I watched you sink as they swam above
You are the land and I am the dove
My heart is heavy when you're high
So for me why won't you try
[Verse 3]
Said you're sorry you were drinking through the day then
Only stopped to let your lungs take the hit
You said I won't blame you now but you lost my love somehow
Then you jumped right in
[Chorus]
Oh I wanna give you all of my love
But I watched you sink as they swam above
You are the land and I am the dove
My heart is heavy when you're high
So for me why won't you try
