NME.com writes: The cut is somewhat symptomatic of Mosshart’s time in isolation, which she says has been “just a lot of drinking and talking to myself”. In one verse, she sings: “I set a place at the table, and become my own stranger”, while expressing the disorientating, hazy feeling of days rollin...
It's late, getting later, later on
Have you faced it ain't water I want
If I don't think, I don't think of you
If I don't move, I don't follow
I set the place at the table and become my own stranger
That way you coming from
I don't know your name
But I like the way you look at me in that unsuspicious way
Wasted, I'm wasted
Easy in my stride
No pain in the world left pushing my insides
If I don't think, I don't think of you
If I don't move, I don't follow
I'd set the cup for a spoonful
And today becomes tomorrow
That way you headed now
Could we be the same
I like the way you look at me in that unsuspicious way
Like there ain't nothing wrong
Nothing to be saved
Oh, have you faith
It ain't water that I want
It ain't water that I want
It's late and I'm hateful
Loving all the same
I'm nothing in freedom
The guilt with which with I came
I did what I done now
I'll do it again
There in my blood leaving the way it came in
It ain't water that I want
It ain't water that I want
