Water grey through the windows, up the stairs Chilling rain, like an ocean everywhere Don't want to 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 under water, I do... Hope decays, generations disappear Washed away, as a nation simply stares Don't want to 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 under water, I do... All you've ever wanted... Was someone to truly look up to you And six feet underground, now I... Now I do... Oh... Oh... The little things give you away... the little things give you away All you've ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you All you've ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you
