lyrics

You made me falter
At your alter
When I was praying you’d be mine
But then I gave in
Gave up my praying
And thought I’d preach just to kill time

Said that I was ready
To start going steady
And decided to go face you
I studied your book
Your bible, I looked
And you were ready too

But the water’s always colder when you ease in

Well I dove in too quickly
As soon as I got out
I didn’t have time to dry
It was cold and you knew it
You had a kiss you blew it
And to myself I had to lie
I dove in too quickly

You were a rebound
I couldn’t see around
Cause I thought that I loved you
You were so willing
Dreadful yet filling
And thought you loved me too

So all this preaching
Is leaving me quite weakened
And frankly getting old
So let me front some confidence
And pay for my indulgences
To save my soul

But the water’s always colder when you ease in

Well I dove in too quickly
As soon as I got out
I didn’t have time to dry
It was cold and you knew it
You had a kiss you blew it
And to myself I had to lie
I dove in too quickly

I played myself this time

Well I dove in too quickly
As soon as I got out
I didn’t have time to dry
It was cold and you knew it
You had a kiss you blew it
And to myself I had to lie
I dove in
I dove in
I dove in
Too quickly
