== Lyrics ==
     smack dab flat on my back
     the solid ground beginnin' to crack
     I pulled her down and down and down
     I lost my breath, I thought I'd drown
     
     fistfuls of you, fistfuls of you
     you pulled me through with white knuckles
     fistfuls of you, fistfuls of you
     you pulled me through with white knuckles
     
     her leg, my hand, a smoldering brand
     sticking to her wet body like sand
     her place, distaste, we fell from grace
     red smears across our face
     
     fistfuls of you
     fistfuls of you
     fistfuls of you
     
     fistfuls of you, fistfuls of you
     you pulled me through with white knuckles
     fistfuls of you, fistfuls of you
     you pulled me through with white knuckles
     
     white knuckles
     white knuckles
     white knuckles
     white knuckles
