Turning Into Water
Maybird Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am turning into water
My body is transforming into a translucent pool
And I don't know what to do

I don't have much to offer, my honey
But now you have to see just what you do to me
When I let my eyes on you
Turning into water, sinking when you pass me by
I'm turning into water, sinking when you pass me by

Now I'm freezing in winter of the heartache
You ask me how it feels
Well, time wounds all heals
Ice preserves these bitter chills

Gloria, I don't ask for your loving
Just a little time for you to recognize
What is just beyond my will





Turning into water, sinking when you pass me by
I'm turning into water, sinking when you pass me by
