Lyrics

I was diggin’ holes in the backyard, lookin’ for something I’d lost
Out in the dark with a knife in my heart, stumblin’ and fallin’ apart
Everybody has a reason. Reasons mean nothing now
I don’t give a damn who forced who’s hand when somebody has let me down

All I know is what they say ain’t true
Fool is anyone who failed to fall in love with you

You remind me of water. Water that can’t stands still
Flowing clean from a mountain stream and I am gonna drink my fill
I like it when you’re walkin’ with me. I love the way you talk the talk
Never give up, even when luck’s done everything to shake you off

All I know is what they say ain’t true
Fool is anyone who failed to fall in love with you
Yeah, all I know is what they say ain’t true
Fool is anyone who fails to fall in love with you

You’ve been telling stories and I’ve got stories too
Some of them would be better if they’d have happened to me and you

There’s no radio station anywhere that would ever play this song
The dying of a dream, maybe all it means is another one will always come along

All I know is what they say ain’t true
Fool is anyone who failed to fall in love with you
Yeah, all I know is what they say ain’t true
Fool is anyone who fails to fall in love with you
