Waterfalls Lyrics by Cloudwalkers

Cloudcover Volume 1

2015

Lonely mother staring out of the window
Looking at the son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
And all the praying just ain't helping at all
'Cause he can't seem to keep himself out of trouble
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
Another body laying cold in the gutter
Listen to me
[Chorus]
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you'rе used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you'rе moving too fast
(Too fast, too fast, yeah)
Little precious got a natural obsession
For temptation, but he just can't see (just can't see)
No, no
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
But all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me" (so good to me)
And every day he looks himself in the mirror
No, he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading, and he doesn't know why
Three letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all gon' listen to me
[Chorus]
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to (That you're used to)
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast (too fast)
I remember when I was a little kid
I wondered why grown-ups hurt their bodies the way they did
And now it's clear to me, we all need TLC
Forgotten how to be free without chemical remedies
Promises of better lives fill our silver screens
Gave up the visions of our hearts for advertisement dreams
Bodies that tease us, never please us
Leave us ugly and fat, man let's take our ship back
I still play Final Fantasy, softer than I wanna be
I'd rather read a book than turn on TNT any week
Sing on the street while people stare
They see I'm done chasing waterfalls, flow like I don't care
Some sip their courage from a red plastic cup
You may laugh at where I'm standing, but at least I stand up
When you're ready, I'll be here, hands out stretched
Come take a walk on this cloud, cause you ain't seen nothin' yet
[Chorus]
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to (that you're used to)
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast (too fast, too fast, now)
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to those rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Yeah, yeah
