Floodline on our Knees（バージョン2）

Verse

River's lapping at the mailbox door

Soda cracker wrapper in the mud like a map we made before

Grandfather's axe still leaning against the oak tree stump

Counting days until our road is ready for the flood

Old radio crackling out a song I knew as a kid

Painted on my arm in turquoise blue, never hid it

Mm... we don't need a reason when the water's at the door

We've been waiting on this kind of storm ever since before

Pre-Chorus

So what if it's coming slow

What if this is all that I know

Let's build a raft out of the fence slats and driftwood too

We'll ride it in with nothing but each other's truth

Chorus

Ride us down like we're running free on a summer night

Floodline on our knees, shining bright as any light

We don't need to be brave when the water comes this way

Just hold my hand and let the whole world wash away

Verse 2

Porch swing creaking loose off its hinges now

Neighbor's cat floating down on a piece of plywood like it owns the town

Momma's old apron tied around my waist instead of clothes

Waterline rising where our worries used to go

I remember every flood line this land has seen

Every year we'd start again and it still felt brand new

Like nothing but a storm could bring us back to you

Pre-Chorus

So what if it's coming slow

What if this is all that I know

Let's build a raft out of the fence slats and driftwood too

We'll ride it in with nothing but each other's truth

Chorus

Ride us down like we're running free on a summer night

Floodline on our knees, shining bright as any light

We don't need to be brave when the water comes this way

Just hold my hand and let the whole world wash away

Bridge

Some days are worth being swept away from

Every brick and every stone that we can't save

The current's got a rhythm, it's not trying to drown us

It just wants to carry what we cannot hold down

So I'll throw my hands up in the spray like it's rainbows on my skin

And let this whole town roll in, come rushing back again

Chorus

Ride us down like we're running free on a summer night

Floodline on our knees, shining bright as any light

We don't need to be brave when the water comes this way

Just hold my hand and let the whole world wash away
