The Variance - Wipe Away The Debt Lyrics
(Verse 1)The first breath I ever tookWell frankly it took my breath awayAnd if I was new, then you were tooAnd we could take this city and raise it one day.But oh, travesty!Who is this man that was born in that river?"Am I you, or am I me?"I asked myself; as I couldn't remember.(Chorus)The only thing I really knowIs I've got this debt to payAnd I've been living in shame for 20 long yearsTil a man came along and gave me a wayOut of this madnessThat I call my life(Or the life that I've had since that one fateful night)And until I met you, my mind, it was setBut what price do I pay to wipe away debt?(Verse 2)Oh Mary, Mary, quite contraryWon't you sing that song again?The one with the notes that I'll rememberUp until the day that I'm dead?Oh no, baby, please don't cryYou don't have to sing tonightJust sit down and I'll tell you a storyOf cities in water and practical glory.(Chorus)The only thing I really knowIs I've got this debt to payAnd I've been living in shame for 20 long yearsTil a man came along and gave me a wayOut of this madnessThat I call my life(Or the life that I've had since that one fateful night)And until I met you, my mind, it was setBut what price do I pay to wipe away debt?(Bridge)So would you kindly take my handAnd pull me deeper below?Be the weights around my anklesWhen I need air, I'll let you-Repeat-(Chorus)The only thing I really knowIs I've got this debt to payAnd I've been living in shame for 20 long yearsTil a man came along and gave me a wayOut of this madnessThat I call my life(Or the life that I've had since that one fateful night)And until I met you, my mind, it was setBut what price do I pay to wipe away debt?To wipe away debtTo wipe away debtTo wipe away debt
