bringing on the flood.... of love.

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
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
you’re slipping through my fingers touch
 a natural disaster love, bringing on the flood
the flood
love me like a flood
bring it on

stay the night out, by the beach house
it’s oh so quiet
lit a 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

i can put my hands down in it
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
bring it on

i knew the waves were icy, when i felt them all retreating
went to take a dive in the deep end
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
bring it on

rising and falling in my dreams
rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean

my tears they filled the ocean....
