The Flood Lyrics

Here comes the drugs wash over me their wake will take us out to sea

Open the floodgates, cut us loose then we'll catch our stride
Follow through together the realest thing that we can do tonight

Here come the drums, rain over me stuttering start of the daylight dawning
Fathers yell and mothers weep crawl on our knees soon enough we're walking shed a tear at "Hey Nineteen" another love crashed in-between

Open the floodgates, cut us loose then we'll catch our stride
Close your eyes and stay by my side the realest thing that you can do tonight

And when we realized the stakes were high, we'd clear our minds
And rationalize, I'll love you right and you don't even have to notice

The bigger the scores for the deals we're making totally worth all the bones we're breaking if only my father had gotten older to think that we thought that our lives were over
