The Flood 04:41
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

Please give me something I can understand a wisp, a moment, hold it in my hands The night’s aglow, the moon hangs low the glint is in the glass Don’t think there’s any reason for goodbyes Think it over for a second one grain in the sands of time Band on the run as the hourglass smashed tonight And the weight of each decision crashing down like tidal waves Even the crooks and the dimestore hoods have faith Signs are on the ceiling, writing’s on the wall There’s a terrifying feeling I won’t see you anymore and I just can't stop the bleeding so I’ll learn to love the pain I never thought that this is how it ends Familiar favorites back by popular demand The air is heavy with the sweat of cheap romance The room is hot and the girls forgot the boys are in the band Don’t see any reason for goodbyes And the evening’s entertainment killed the crowd just like a plague Nobody noticed the path we would take Head for the lights; we saved Signs are on the ceiling, writing’s on the wall There’s a terrifying feeling I won’t see you anymore and I just can't stop the bleeding so I’ll learn to love the pain I never thought that this is how it ends That’s the cost of doing business That’s the shot across the bow Just get in the van as fast as you can, for now before it gets too dark to find it Signs are on the ceiling, writing’s on the wall There’s a terrifying feeling I won’t see you anymore and I cannot stop the bleeding so I’ll learn to love the pain I never thought that this is how it ends
