Your love is a swamp land
And I’m always sinking in
Though never drowning
My feet always sink into the deepest ground of your words
I’m standing crying in your honesty
My love is a swamp land
And you’re always sinking in
Though never drowning
Your feet always sink into the deepest ground of my words
You’re standing overwhelmed in my honesty
I get my feet loose, trying to find solid ground
You get your feet free to run from me
I’m never leaving your swamp land
Always sinking in and getting out again
You leave but always come back to my swamp land
Afraid to sink in and stay

You’re Mr. Cheat on her, running to me
And I’m Mrs. Wanting you, letting you in
We’re Mr. and Mrs. shamefully finding love
Is this love? Is this what love feels like?
It’s not
We’re Mr. and Mrs. wrongfully feeling right
Is this wrong? Do we feel right?
You’re Mr. Straying wherever you like
And I’m Mrs. Always staying here waiting for you
We wear rings not of marriage
But made out of magnets pulling us near
And I never wanna lose it, that ring, you
