Water grey
Through the windows
Up the stairs,
Chilling rain
Like an ocean
Everywhere,

Don't wanna 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,

All you've ever wanted,
Was someone to truly look up to you,
And six feet underwater,
I do,

Hope decays,
Generations disappear,
Washed away,
As a nation simply stares,

Don't wanna 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,

All you've ever wanted,
Was someone to truly look up to you,
And six feet underwater,
I do,

All you've ever wanted,
Was someone to truly look up to you,
And six feet underground, now I,
Now I do,

(Ohhh, ohhh...)
(Little things give you away, the little things give you away)
(All you've ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you)
