Mostly Water - Laurence Fox

Too late to see you awake

As I get home, tiptoe to the place where you sleep

I long to find you awake,

As I open your door, I see you’ve drifted away

You’re mostly water

Science has told me so

If you’re mostly water

How can I love you so?

Some say that life’s a machine,

And when it comes to the end,

The light just simply goes out

Others are startled by God and all their fears and doubts

But there is no easy way out

They’re mostly water

They don’t know where they’re going

There’s a life to be had here

Wherever we’re going

I didn’t make the world, the world made me first

But when you get to the sea, you’ll see me first

You’re mostly water

That’s what they always say

But they’re mostly water

So how fucking dare they?

You’re mostly water

Science has told me so

If you’re mostly water

How can I love you so?

And they will tell you to climb,

But water falls, always falls

Don’t let them stand you in line,

‘cause you don’t stand to see much more
