Quicksand lyrics

Verse 1

You'll be knocked out, come around

Shot down, shatter on the stony ground

Yeah take it from me, it's how it'll be

Your dreams will come true, fall through

Screw you, batter you to black and blue

Yeah take it from me, it's how it'll be

Pre-Chorus

Love's gonna leave you broken

Time's gonna work you over

You get up, you get up, you keep rolling on

Life's gonna bring you glory

But there's another side to the story

You get up and suck it up, you keep rolling on

Chorus

But if you crash land in the quicksand

I will pick you up, I'll pull you out

And if the world shakes, your brittle heart breaks

We will patch it up, we'll work it out

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la

We will patch it up, we'll work it out

Verse 2

You'll be on track, on the rack

Bounce back, wheeling down a bumpy road

Yeah take it from me, it's how it'll be

Through the good times, the sad times

Oh, off you go

But take it from me, whatever you need

Pre-Chorus

Love's gonna leave you broken

Time's gonna work you over

You get up, you get up, you keep rolling on

Life's gonna bring you glory

But there's another side to the story

You get up and suck it up, you keep rolling on

Chorus

But if you crash land in the quicksand

I will pick you up, I'll pull you out

And if the world shakes, your brittle heart breaks

We will patch it up, we'll work it out

Bridge

When your world cracks open, when your heart is broken

We will patch it up, we'll work it out

Life's gonna bring you glory but there's another side to the story

We will patch you up, we'll work it out

Outro

And if the world shakes, your brittle heart breaks

I will patch you up, we'll work it out
