Word Anxiety Songtext
von Maria Doyle Kennedy

A word set down in a cup gone cold
A tiny piece of explain to hold on to
Anytime you feel like reeling me in
I′m here
I'm drowing not waving

The word went by with its other word friends
All winking by, becoming part of a lie
Anytime you feel like reeling me in
I′m here
I'm down but not caving

Words I hear you speaking
But the meaning's never clear


And the words grow sharp
And they act like spies
Growing flinty together making out like knives
There goes the ruin
Here liesthe child
Both of us hoping the two will collide
Cut down
Burrowed in deep
And I cover my ears but I cannot sleep
Anytime you feel like reeling me in
I′m here
Down but not caving

Words I hear you speaking
But the meaning′s never clear
There's a bang of desperation off the need I have to know
You could call it fear.
You could call it fear.
