lyrics

We were ready when the waters came to hide the land and swallow the trees. Prepared ourselves with makeshift boats and bags of sand. We could hardly believe. Now I'm on a train with a pen and a brain that's thinking of you and the nights you went out with the man who laughed out loud, in a crowd.

Careful now, the ground's still wet. Think of the rain from the rain's point of view. Despite all my best intent think of the man that I turned in to. And now I'm drowning, my life is amounting to cardboard and drought and you're always out with the the man who laughed out loud in a crowd.

And I'm floating away, I'm floating away. And I'm holding your place, I'm holding a place for you, it's the least I could do.

-Jeff Badger
