Dizzee Rascal - The Flood

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, hmm
I can put my hands down in it
But I won't bring nothing up
Sitting on 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, 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, ooh

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
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

I knew the waves were icy, when I felt them all retreating, ooh
Went to take a dive in the deep end
Woah, 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
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

Rising and falling in my dreams
Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean
(The ocean, the ocean)
My tears that fill the ocean
(The ocean, the ocean)
