Cover art for All I Ask lyrics by Vanessa Carlton

Stumbling down a road lined with signs It's obvious I'm in the wrong direction But I won't stop now you know I feel fine Just looking for some affection And all I ask is to be able to hold on longer And all I ask is to be able to walk on water Walk on water

I figure it won't be long it won't be hard just gotta get my feet back on the ground Just gotten a hold of some unlucky cards And I have yet to make another round And all I ask is to be able to hold on longer And all I ask is to be able to walk on water Walk on water

No one lent a hand, no one laid a look upon me Invisible to everything but blame No, and No one cared to tell, no one dared to believe in anything And left me to drown in this pain And all I ask is to be able to hold on longer And all I ask is to be able to walk on water Walk on water

This song's from her Demo Tape. Walking on water means winning against death. It's a jewish symbol(she's a jew so this works out) that's also used in the bible(Jesus walking on water...).
