Late one night I was crying in bed
Sheets soaked through, eyes bloodshot red
My mama came to the room and said
Child it's good you're clearing your head
Cuz ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothin wrong
With water flowing strong
So don't build a dam, baby don't hold back
Cuz men don't cry, men have heart attacks

America, America, we cried in the car on the way home
You were good to me, and we said goodbye for just a little too long
And Old Friends, yeah Old Friends sometimes do just to do it for old times
But it's clear to me, like the moon on the river, my mama never met you

Half-filled blue Nalgene water bottle
Did you see the beginning or the end?
Perfect circle, galaxy water
Wise you'd be to envy the tender heart of my friend

Sometimes, when the sun shines through the clouds in stunning display
Some people think that their eyes behold something more than light rays
But not you, dear, cuz you see the sun for the sun
No darlin, you feel the sun, know the sun for the sun

But once I swear I saw God in your eyes
Though we were both undeniably high
What is this life if it don't make you cry, cry, cry my love?

If you cry me a river, I'll paddle you downstream
If you play me a song in G minor
Well then maybe, the heavens will come crashing down at our feet

But the thing about mercy is it's never deserved
Yeah the thing about mercy is it's never deserved
Oh no, no no
