Текст пісні
My sister's on the porch again, humming like a wire
Talking 'bout her best friend, throwing wood on fire
She says, man, she's tired and sick of all the games
Sick of all the hollow boys with nothing to their names
Says her girl wants someone steady, someone with a soul
Someone who doesn't need a spotlight to feel whole
And I'm standing in the doorway, just nodding my head
Thinking 'bout the words I wished she said instead
She says she hates the arrogance, the loud mouths in the bars
Chasing something temporary, breaking all the hearts
Well, I'm the quiet water, I'm the steady ground
Yeah, the underlying groove, the only rhythm in town
And oh, it's written in the way she moves
She's chasing the rhythm, but she's missing the groove
She said "Hey" the other day, and I felt the world shift
That polite little smile was a real gift
I'm reading between lines, she wants to be found
Needs someone to finally turn it all around
She's cataloging losers, looking right past me
While I'm standing in the shadows, waiting to be seen
Yesterday she walked in, looking for a spare key
Left a scent of sandalwood and a look that leveled me
Brushed her hair behind her ear, a question in the air
A heavy kind of silence, saying 'look if you dare'
My sister says she's lonely, says she's looking for a change
Well, looky here, Sis, ain't it funny? Ain't it strange?
I'm the quiet shelter holding in the light
The one who's gonna make it turn out right
She says she hates the arrogance, the loud mouths in the bars
Chasing something temporary, breaking all the hearts
Well, I'm the quiet water, I'm the steady ground
Yeah, the underlying groove, the only rhythm in town
And oh, it's written in the way she moves
She's chasing the rhythm, but she's missing the groove
She said "Hey" the other day, and I felt the world shift
That polite little smile was a real gift
I'm reading between lines, she wants to be found
Needs someone to finally turn it all around
