One Foot in the Water Lyrics by Brent Bourgeois

A Matter of Feel

0

He has one foot in the water
And one foot in the sand
He doesn't have an opinion
He's afraid to take a stand
And yet I wait, and I, ooh
I will wait as long as I can
'Cause he has one foot in the water
And one hand ahold of my hand
Don't pull away
When are you gonna grow up, Johnny boy?
Oh, the light's still on in the kitchen
But your mama ain't overjoyed
Though you tried to be real quiet
Your heart cries out in pain
For one more thing that you swore by
Is going down the drain
Oh, when are you gonna grow up, Johnny boy?
He has one foot in the water
And one foot in thе sand
He doesn't have an opinion
Hе's afraid to take a stand
And yet I wait, and I, ooh
I will wait as long as I can
'Cause he has one foot in the water
And one hand ahold of my hand
Don't pull away, don't pull away
(When are you gonna wake up?)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
(It's time for you to wake up)
They say you saw the sunrise, Johnny boy
Oh, it's gonna be a beautiful day
A day you would rather avoid
'Cause you must face the worst of both worlds
I think I know what you're going through
Because the things that you love
The most in this world
Is the same thing killing you
Oh, it's time to pay the piper, Johnny boy
He has one foot in the water
And one foot in the sand
And one eye toward the heavens
As he's sinking into the land
But I'll be strong, and I, ooh
I'll be strong just as long as I can
'Cause he has one foot in the water
And one hand ahold of my hand
Don't pull away, hey-hey-hey
(When are you gonna wake up?)
Oh-whoa
(It's time for you to wake up)
Oh, when are you gonna wake up?
(It's time for you to wake up)
Hey, hey
(When are you gonna wake up?)
Oh-whoa
(It's time for you to wake up)
(When are you gonna wake up?)
(It's time for you to wake up)
