Sink Or Swim

Waifs Sink Or Swim Lyrics
1.Without You

I've been looking out for number one
I've been stepping out with my friends
I don't have to justify what I have done
I don't have to answer to anyone

I put my body on the line
Take a step out of my mind
Life takes on a different veiw without you

I feel energized like I was young
I have not felt this way since we began
I re-evaluate my future plan
Time to free myself from your command

Theres no need to compromise
I'll do what ever I decide
no one else to spoil the view - without you

I don't care if I ever touch the sun
I don't care if the whole thing comes undone
Everyday to me is a surprise
I don't care if it leads to my demise

No restrictions now I'm free
No black clouds hanging over me
I think I like this view without you


2.When I Die

When I die won't you bury me
In the town where I was born
Most of my life I've been rambiling free
When I die I want to come back home

Ever since I was a baby child
I knew I was born to roam
I had to climb to the top of the hill
Just to see what lies beyond
Now seasons change and I am still the same
I don't belong to anyone
Still a piece of me will always be
Sitting in my hometown sun

In my time I have seen ten thousand setting suns
And I made my bed where I lay my head
And it never hurt anyone
It could be said that a girl like me
Ain't nothing but a prodigal son
And just like that prodigal boy I'm gonna finish off where I've
begun


3.Taken

night-time i stage my street show
love for the money that's my cash flow
no I don't get scared when I walk alone
I have been on this beat enough to know
that when shit happens it is just your turn
so you deal with it and it happens everyday
I don't know quite where I belong
so when they come I freely give myself away

walkabout - a very different kind
walkabout - a very different place and time

I stand underneath street lights dreaming of the moon
it is rising in a desert a life I never know
taken away and now I'm walking by myself

when you grow up in institutions
you make your friends but love you never know
so when I found my blood ran from the desert
I knew it was somewhere I had to go
I went to the people there
I lost and found myself on either side
something deep down just don't feel right
so I walk about this country
and I walk about these streets to find where my heart lies.


4.Service Fee

You broke down my door and let yourself in
Helped yourself to my soul and skin
You ate all you needed and then had the nerve
To thank me for dinner and help yourself tp dessert
You helped yourself
I could've chaged you a service fee
For all you did to me
I should've chged you a service fee
For all you did to me
You helped yourself

It wasn't very pretty, it wasn't very kid
But I rathr go deaf, paralysed or blind
But I lay back, held still by the fear
That you would smash me to pieces
And I'd die here

I carry knifes in my pockets, bullets in my guns
Don't try to chase me I'm not going to run
And don't ever ask me, don't you dare begin
I'm not going to talk about it but god knows
I'm going to sing
God knows I am going to sing about it

No thankyou boy I'd rather walk home alone
No thank you sir I'd rather walk home alone
No thank you brother I'd rather walk home alone
No thankyou mister I'd rather walk home alone
