lyrics

Don’t know what we’re doing here
Don’t know why we stay year after year
We run the risk of losing it all
When we know it was doomed from the start

CHORUS

It’s like living in a flood plain
It’s like waiting for the river to rise again
It’s like drowning in a teaspoon of rain (pain)
It’s like living in a flood plain

Not gonna fix the creaking back door
Not gonna go that way anymore
And when the roof is caving in
You don’t stand still to try again

CHORUS

BRIDGE
You’re making it flood plain
You’re making me pray for the pouring rain
You’re making it flood plain
You must destroy to be born again

I see you pulling away
I see us with nothing to say
Sick of the fear that things’ll never change
Sick of the fear they’ll never stay the same

CHORUS
