She walks by crying Those tears say jay-in Somebody should've told her yesterday That it all can fade away She didn't know mmm Guess she didn't know Now these sidewalks are leaking Ooohh shattered feelings leave a trail I wish I could've held her right before She would walk into that door Who knew it'd all Come tumbling down If only we could reach out our hands And somehow just understand and see what this world has planned We'd be rising from quicksand (Quicksand) Quicksand If only we could hear what's unsaid Then I could make her face dry again And we could rewrite this end And we'd be rising from quicksand Rising from quicksand Now her lips keep shaking Across the street I feel her breaking She wonders what's the use of this heart If it only tears apart If I would've known I would've saved her from this beating If only we could reach out our hands And somehow just understand and see what this world has planned We'd be rising from quicksand (Quicksand) Quicksand If only we could hear what's unsaid Then I could make her face dry again And we could rewrite this end And we'd be rising from quicksand Rising from quicksand She's been fighting in a war alone It's getting hard to carry on She's dying but nobody knows knows If only every single day I could take away the pain The sand would fade away And we'd be rising If only we could reach out our hands And somehow just understand and see what this world has planned We'd be rising from quicksand (Quicksand) Quicksand If only we could hear what's unsaid Then I could make her face dry again And we could rewrite this end And we'd be rising from quicksand Rising from quicksand
