If You Never Got Sick — The Wallflowers

Well that ain't aparachute That ain't a ripcord That ain't a body of water We're headed for There's so little time left So much to be done Even you are gonna need someone

That ain't a trick of light Or the morning haze Come on in from the lake Get it into your eyes This invisible breath Of a storm on the rise That I feel whenever you arrive

And I may not be quick I maybe never was But tell me whatever it is that you've become Baby if you never got sick I wouldn't get to hold you Baby if you never got sick I wouldn't get to hold you

This ain't a righteous love Even a good one These ain't the kinds of returns That I was thinking of I'm unbearable now, you ain't seen nothin yet You'll see me dead before you see me quit

That ain't a jug of wine that you been drinkin from Now lay back, now baby and let your fever come I'll bury you in just to dig you out I don't have any use for being proud And the deeper the slide The higher the rise Now don't be disappointed how I'm usin mine

Baby if you never got sick I wouldn't get to hold you Baby if you never got sick I wouldn't get to hold you

I think I made a mistake I think I pushed when you said wait but I never get to hold you

I followed you deep into a berry field There was someone you were running from When I needed to sleep that's when you disappeared But I did get the impossible done And I always knew that there was god inside of you I just never did learn which one

Baby if you never got sick I wouldn't get to hold you Baby if you never got sick I wouldn't get to hold you Baby if you never got sick I would never get to hold you
