lyrics

i am a pitcher, you are a cup
will you pass me on, after i fill you up
will you try to keep pouring, you'll be likely to drown
there's no time to be selfish, i'll be back around

look here's a channel, of a river gone dry
can't you smell the rain coming, in the hot summer sky
i feel the storm building, way down deep in my blood
better get up to high ground, or be lost in the flood

i'm the waves on the ocean, i'm the mist in the night
a dark lake with no bottom, where you could sink out of sight
i'm the ice of the mountains, i'm the tears in your eyes
there's no way to contain me, so please don't even try

when i was younger, i got caught in the rain
it soaked into my spirit, helped me channel my pain
now i flow over boulders, i fall from the sky
gonna wear down your mountain, gonna drive you to cry

i am a pitcher, you are a cup
will you pass me on, after i fill you up
will you try to keep pouring, you'll be likely to drown
there's no time to be selfish, i'll be back around
