The Flooding

I used to panic as a teenager
Go to the comfort of my father
"Here comes the flooding," he used to say
But the panic was over

I lit a fire as a teenager
Ran to the rescue was my mother
"Here comes the flooding," she used to say
But the panic was over

I kept a secret as a teenager
No more than any other teenager
"Here comes the flooding," I used to say
But the panic was over

Find consolation
Your way
Your way

What would I give up to let you in
Open bellows within you for flooding
Like you said, we were young
Now the party is over
Don't go, don't ever, it's too late
I waited as long as you wanted to wait
The red eye in hindsight
Meant the party was over

I dreamt that we were in a cave together
The walls were closing in on us forever
"Here comes the flooding," we used to say
But the panic was over

It's nearly over
Find consolation
Your way
Your way

It's nearly over
Find consolation
Your way
Your way
Your way
