Lyrics If You Never Got Sick - The Wallflowers

Well that ain′t a parachute
That ain't a ripcord
That ain′t a body of water
We're headed for
There's so little time left
So much to be done
Even you are gonna need someone

That ain′t a trick of light
Or the morning haze
Come on in from the lake
Get it into your eyes
This invisible breath
Of a storm on the rise
That I feel whenever you arrive

And I may not be quick
I maybe never was
But tell me whatever it is that you′ve become
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn't get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn′t get to hold you

This ain't a righteous love
Even a good one
These ain′t the kinds of returns
That I was thinking of
I'm unbearable now, you ain′t seen nothin yet
You'll see me dead before you see me quit

That ain't a jug of wine that you been drinkin from
Now lay back, now baby and let your fever come
I′ll bury you in just to dig you out
I don′t have any use for being proud
And the deeper the slide
The higher the rise
Now don't be disappointed how I′m usin mine

Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn't get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn′t get to hold you

I think I made a mistake
I think I pushed when you said wait
But I never get to hold you

I followed you deep into a berry field
There was someone you were running from
When I needed to sleep that's when you disappeared
But I did get the impossible done
And I always knew that there was god inside of you
I just never did learn which one

Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn′t get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn't get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I would never get to hold you
