Aquarius Tab

Dear someone listening in the shadows
                     
I only talk to you sometimes
                            
And though I ask for help in riddles
                        
It is clearer in my mind, clearer in my mind

                          
Born of a sign that carries vessels
                           
But in a month that's cold as ice
                           
I know I question things too quickly
                                   
But I have never questioned if I've loved

                              
Dear someone watching from the shadows
                        
I'm clenching water in my fists
                                     
the drops, they slip right through my fingers
                                    
But there's water on my lips, water on my lips

                          
Born of a sign that carries vessels
                             
But in a month that brings just ice
                            
I know I question things too quickly
                                                 
But I've never wondered if I've loved, wondered if I've loved

                              
Dear someone watching from the shadows
                                        
You've seen me lose all the water from my hands
                        
I'm not a skillful water carrier
                                                       
But the raindrops keep falling on my head, falling on my head

                          
Born of a sign that carries water
                            
But in a month that brings just ice
                       
I'm not a skillful water carrier
                         
But I've learned to carry love,
                
learned to carry love...
