Quicksand
Pietasters Lyrics

I thought it was infatuation, I couldn't find the bridges behind me
At first, I thought it was just a crush and that I could easily move on. But now I realize that I have burned my bridges and can't turn back.

Here today, gone tomorrow, never thinking loving wouldn't find me
I used to believe that love would come and go quickly and that I would always be able to find it. But now I see that I was naive.

Now my fee is love, I'm after, my courts show the walls of disaster 'cause
I have become desperate for love and it is consuming me to the point where I can see that it is leading me to disaster.

Love is like quicksand, I'm sinking deeper and deeper baby But the mountain of my mistakes, is looking steeper and steeper baby
Love feels like I am sinking into quicksand and the more I struggle, the more I sink. And with every mistake I make, the path out of it seems steeper and more difficult to climb.

I will solve the things to loving, and it was a case of taking or leaving So I crossed it off as usual, your love came, I couldn't believe it So like a child who plays with fire, I'm going after my own desire, 'cause
I used to think that love was simply a matter of taking it or leaving it. I rejected it before, but when your love came along, I couldn't resist it. Now I am chasing after my own desires recklessly, like a child playing with fire.

Can't you see I'm sinking baby, come on help me now, help me now, Come on help me now, help me now This is more than just flirtations, sure it's not a hopeless situation 'cause
I am drowning in this love and I need help to get out. This is not just a passing fling, but a serious situation. But I know that it is not hopeless and there is still a chance to escape.

refrain (7x)
The chorus repeats seven times, emphasizing the idea that love is like quicksand and the mistakes made in it are mounting.
