You want to catch your breath, you want to get out But as you surface you don't really know how How to live upon the solid ground Well, sometimes it's just easier to let yourself drown Love is Thick like Blood like Honey You cannot spell it out there are no words Mrs. Johnson never taught me those verbs On how to give myself and how to receive It is something that's inside of you and me Love is Thick like Blood like Honey Forget everything you ever learned No one listens when you want to be heard Just bleed the bittersweet Seven sunrises and seven more nights You'd think that we could learn to do it right If nothing changes then I'm gonna stop But do I really have a choice? Oh, no I think not Love is Thick like Blood like Honey
