Lyrics: Alec Duckart
Music: Alec Duckart
You drove me to the water
And I didn’t even swim
You wanted me to have some fun
And I’m sorry
I meant to, I did
And it’s hard to believe it’s still
The beautiful thing that it is
I wanted to be everything
And I will
Cause I want it still
And it’s alright
That nothing calms down
As hard as I try with my feet on the ground
I buried my teeth
In everything good
And it didn’t save me like I thought it would
~
I can’t write anymore
I have a shadow over my door
And it’s not kind anymore
It doesn’t love me like before
And I don’t cry anymore
Except when I do which is most nights
And I’ll try not to lie anymore
Or call it a symptom of fight or flight
Wish I didn’t take the money
When I did
Wish I didn’t hate the city in mid July
Think I must’ve been somebody
At some time
But you promise you can see me and you don’t lie
But this is not mine anymore
It’s giving you time like it always will
I don’t wanna die anymore
There are hands to be held and drinks to be spilled
And I can and I will
You stand in the kitchen making me still
Cause I can and I will
I can and I will (x4?)
(I Can and I Will, cont’d)
(And it’s alright if nothing calms down
Hard as I try with my feet on the ground
I buried my teeth into everything good
And it didn’t save me like I thought it would)
I can and I will
I can and I will
