X Ambassadors – QUICKSAND lyrics

[Intro]
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh

[Verse 1]
Mama don't sleep well
She worries ’bout the kids all night
And the kids don't eat well
They worry 'bout they mama so they hustle on the side
And daddy workin’ three jobs
The sweat keeps drippin' in the buffalo sunshine
So he drives that car
Promises someday, mama, we will be all right

[Chorus]
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes, it feels like quicksand
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes, it feels like quicksand
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down

[Verse 2]
Sister’s got a new car
No new friends, she got money in the bank
And every day she works hard, she plays hard
Baby knows how to drink
Her brother’s in a bad place
Takes prescriptions for pain to keep his demons at bay
So she, so she drives that car
Promises someday, brother, we gon' be all right

[Chorus]
And I’ll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes, it feels like quicksand
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes, it feels like quicksand
Quicksand’s pullin' me down, down, down

[Bridge]
Woah-oh (It's pullin' me down, down, down)
Woah-oh (Sometimes, it feels like quicksand)
Woah-oh (Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down)
Every day, I pray and I pray, feel like the rain always stayin'
Every day, I pray and I pray, I pray that I find my way
Every day, I pray and I pray, feel like the rain always stayin'
Every day, I pray and I pray, I gotta find an escape

[Chorus]
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes, it feels like quicksand
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes, it feels like quicksand
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down

[Outro]
Woah-oh (It's pullin' me down, down, down)
Woah-oh (Sometimes, it feels like quicksand)
Woah-oh (Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down)
Woah-oh (It's pullin' me down, down, down)
Woah-oh (Sometimes, it feels like quicksand)
Woah-oh (Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down)
