Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am made of all that I'm afraid of
Most afraid of losing you
Hell's a season
You're the reason that I even dreamt of getting through
[PreChorus]
I, I can feel your body shaking
I, I will meet you where the waves are breaking
[Chorus]
Baby, it's a red flag day
But, baby, let's get in the water
Taken out by a wave
Where we've never been before
[Chorus]
Baby, it's a red flag day
Red flag day
Baby, let's go a bit further
Paradise is a place, you can't see when it's yours
Red flag day
Red flag day
Red flag day
[Verse 2]
Sun come stealing, oceanic feeling
Sky will soon be clear
Today we can't afford
To be afraid of what we fear
[PreChorus]
I, I can feel your body shaking
I, I will meet you where the waves are breaking
[Chorus]
Baby, it's a red flag day
But, baby, let's get in the water
Taken out by a wave
Where we've never been before
[Chorus]
Baby, it's a red flag day
Red flag day
Baby, let's go a bit further
Paradise is a place, you can't see when it's yours
Red flag day
Red flag day
Baby, it's a red flag day
Red flag day
[Bridge]
Not even news today
So many lost in the sea last night
But one word that the sea can't say
Is no, no, no
No
[Outro]
Baby, it's a red flag day
Red flag day, red flag day
Baby, it's a red flag day
Red flag day, red flag day
Red flag day, red flag day
Red flag day, red flag day
Baby, let's get in the water
