Short Movie Lyrics

I am paying for my mistake
That's okay
I don't mind a little pain
It's a short fucking movie man
I know
I will try and take it slow

Bottled water caused a drought
Come on
What's that about?
Keep me sick to make me well
Come on
What the hell?

I got up in the world today
And wondered who it was I could save
Who do you think you are?
Just a girl that can't play guitar

I think I could get away with
Saying only half what I say
No I can't give you up
Oh no I'm not gonna stop

But they know
But they'll never know why

I don't know what
We're afraid of
No I don't mind
Oh no I don't mind

If I fall in love
To the sound of birds
On the wing
And kiss I'm laughing

They know
But they'll never know why
They know
But they'll never know why

They know that I loved you
But they don't know why
They know that I loved you
But they'll never know why

It's kicking off
It's kicking off

Now it's a short fucking movie man
It's a short fucking movie man
It's a short fucking movie man
It's a short fucking movie man

I know
I will try and take it slow
I know
I will try and take it slow

I have agonised and agonised over the first line of the second verse...

I think it might be: "Buy the watercolour dry" but I am far from certain.

@goonerfan Sounds like 'bottled water called a drought' but I put caused because that makes more sense :)
