Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Water grey
Through the windows
Up the stairs
Chilling rain
Like an ocean
Everywhere
[Verse 2]
Don't want to reach for me do you
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
[Verse 3]
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet / underwater
I do
[Verse 4]
Hope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away
As a nation simply stares
[Verse 5]
Don't want to reach for me do you
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
But now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
[Verse 6]
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet / underwater
I do
[Verse 7]
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet / underground now I
Now I do
[Verse 8]
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
[Verse 9]
All you've ever wanted (Little things give you away)
Was someone to truly look up to you (The little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted (Little things give you away)
Was someone to truly look up to you (The little things give you away)
[Verse 10]
All you've ever wanted (Little things give you away)
Was someone to truly look up to you (The little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted (Little things give you away)
Was someone to truly look up to you (The little things give you away)
[Verse 11]
All you've ever wanted (Little things give you away)
Was someone to truly look up to you (The little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted (Little things give you away)
Was someone to truly look up to you (The little things give you away)
