Turn the lights out, in the light house,
|
I saw you coming,
|
Felt the ship wreck
|
Saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling,
|
Just a mess when I saw your reflection in the sand,
|
Wondering where you were washed up,
|
Or I ran to the water, Mmmmm,
|
I can put my hands down in it,
|
But I won't bring nothing up,
|
Sitting at the shore all day, waiting on the tide to come
|
|
But you can't hold on to water
|
It fills you up but never stays
|
It's only good to wash away, today
|
And your loving me like water
|
Your slippin' through my fingers such
|
A natural disaster love
|
Bringing on the flood, the flood
|
Love me like a flood, a flood
|
Bring it on
|
|
Stay tonight out, by the beach house, it's all so quiet
|
Lit a candle candle, by the window, so you might find it
|
Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home
|
Still, I can't help but think, I could have saved you from drowning,
|
Ohhh, oh,
|
I can put my hands down in it, yeah,
|
But I won't bring nothing up,
|
Sitting on the shore all day
|
Just waiting on the tide to come,
|
|
But you can't hold on to water,
|
It fills you up but never stays,
|
It's only good to wash away,
|
Today and your loving me like water,
|
You're slipping through my fingers touch,
|
Natural disaster love, bringing on the flood,
|
The flood,
|
Love me like a flood, the flood,
|
Bring it on,
|
|
I knew the waves were icy, when I felt them all retreating,
|
Went to take a dive in the deep end,
|
Oh, what was I thinking?
|
|
But you can't hold on to water,
|
It fills you up but never stays,
|
It's only good to wash away,
|
Today and your loving me like water,
|
You're slipping through my fingers touch,
|
Natural disaster love, bringing on the flood,
|
The flood,
|
Love me like a flood, the flood,
|
Bring it on,
|
Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
|
Rising and falling in my dreams,
|
Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean, (the ocean, the ocean)
|
