It Was Red Water
ballad, sad, male vocals, melancholy, sad, heartbroken, solemnLyrics
When I was twelve, while checking the mail
I was admirin' the car of the girl next door
And thinkin' to myself, man, one of these days
I'm gonna have me a house like that, with a big red door
And her yard was mowed, and her grass was green
And the driveway was edged and all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly
I had a crush on her wife and I played ball with her son
I pondered how much money she made, went inside and turned the TV on
And she was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time she ever relaxed
And they said
She had a smile on her face, her final offer
The steam on the mirror said, I got one more thing to say
I was watchin' TV, havin' one of mum's famous rice crispy treats
Watching Tom & Jerry, I heard a car, horn beeped
I ran to the window, her wife and son were home
With bags of stuff they had got at the mall
I went in my room and got my glove and ball
I leapt up the steps and asked her son could he play
And her son looked at her wife and her wife told her son I guess it'll be ok
That beautiful woman, she walked in that beautiful house
When I realised I forgot my hat I said I'll be right back and turned around
And she was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time she ever relaxed
And they said
She had a smile on her face, her final offer
The steam on the mirror said, I got one more thing to say
There was screaming, there was crying
There were sirens, I thought I was dreamin'
And the sun was shining, it was a beautiful day
Her wife was talking to an officer, through the noise I heard her say
And she was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time she ever relaxed
And they said
She had a smile on her face, her final offer
The steam on the mirror said I got one more thing to say
And she was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time she ever relaxed
And they said
She had a smile on her face, her final offer
The steam on the mirror said
And she was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time she ever relaxed
And they said
She had a smile on her face, her final offer
The steam on the mirror said, I got one more thing to say
