I am not smooth 
I am not soft 
I am not angry or mean 
I'm just a little shut off 

Shut off like the answer no 
Or like the way water never holds 

I want to be 
Better than I am 
Oh yes I want to need 
Nothing but your hands 
'Cause mine are so weak 

My body it wants to move in 
It wants to move in 
And your ankles are so strong 
I have seen you kick when you swim 
You kick when you swim 
This time I know 
Yeah this time I know 
That I am not wrong 

So dry and cracked 
My heart is set back 
Yeah just like the moon 
When it's a silver resting on its back 

I will not say 
Just exactly how I feel 
Because all of the answers 
Have yet to be revealed 

My body it wants to move in 
It wants to move in 
And your ankles are so strong 
I have seen you kick when you swim 
You kick when you swim 
This time I know 
Yeah this time I know 
That I am not wrong 

'Cause patience is stronger 
Than any kiss 
And oh how I wonder 
If we're ever going to make it 
Are we ever going to make it
