[Chorus: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]
I believe in your purpose, baby
Comin' up to the surface and maybe
I'll never see you again
Then again (then again), who knows (who knows)?
Make me quiver, hands will shiver
Still got all the things that I woulda give her
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)
But it's slow goin', something's showin'
Yeah, yeah

[Verse: Nick Hexum]
They say love is a stream that will find its own course
Making due is a thing, a thing I will do no more
Whenever you come back, I'll be waiting
Trifling the slack, no head gating
This is all pure fiction, you know that's right
Just pure fiction, that's alright

[Chorus: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]
I believe in your purpose, baby
Comin' up to the surface and maybe
I'll never see you again
Then again (then again), who knows (who knows)?
Make me quiver, hands will shiver
Still got all the things that I woulda give her
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)
But it's slow goin', something's showin'
Yeah, yeah
