The track follows the previous track “Misunderstood” in exploring a lack of understanding in a relationship. Where as “Misunderstood” sees...
[Verse 1]
Babe, say somethin', we should be ashamed
Don't say names, I don't wanna know
No care for the blame games
Watch it fall, fall, fall
Can't hit me when you rain so loud
Flood away
[Pre-Chorus]
Speak into the mic, baby
You can't seem to tell me what you need from me
What make you wanna fight lately?
So naive to believe you in it for us
My emotions been straight up too long
Lies get bogus, life's the focus, I know
Stone cold
[Chorus]
You make seasons change with no fair warning
How you make seasons change without saying something? Oh
All these reasons I give lead you to running
Don't leave me out in the cold without my warm thang
[Verse 2]
Should've made you feel more important
Now I'm up all night drinkin' poison
'Til my thoughts are all distorted
The only way I know to ignore it
Tryna hide all the pain
Just to go back to what it was for us
'Nother bottle, I'm all poured out
Flood, flood away
[Pre-Chorus]
Speak into the mic, baby
You can't seem to tell me what you need from me
What make you wanna fight lately?
So naive to believe you in it for us
My emotions been straight up too long
Lies get bogus, life's the focus, I know
Stone cold
[Chorus]
But you make seasons change with no fair warning
How you make seasons change without saying something? Oh
All these reasons I give lead you to running
Don't leave me out in the cold without my warm thang
[Bridge]
Why you got me fallin' just to spring up in the summer? When you
Wasn't really sure, givin' your love
How I'm 'posed to know what you thought it was? (Yeah)
Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn
Dice, when we roll, like dice when we roll, like dice
Cold as ice and you know it, like ice when you know it, like ice (Like ice)
[Chorus]
But you make seasons change with no fair warning
How you make seasons change without saying something? Oh
All these reasons I give lead you to running
Don't leave me out in the cold without my warm thang
[Outro]
Don't leave me out in the cold
Don't leave me out in...
All this else I didn't know
Don't judge me for what I don't know
Don't leave me out in the cold
Don't leave me out in the cold
Don't leave me out in the cold
Don't leave me in the cold
Floods was written by Peter Lee Johnson & D’Mile & Lucky Daye.
Floods was produced by D’Mile.
Lucky Daye released Floods on Fri May 24 2019.
The inspiration behind this song was this girl who I loved, and I thought she loved me back. I thought she did, but I don’t know. She made me feel like I made her run away from me, but I didn’t know what I did and she couldn’t tell what I did. So, I just wrote it. I was drunk. The floods represent n...
D'Mile is the greatest producer in the world. I was fortunate enough to meet in 2010 or 2009. He was working with someone and who he was working with, they didn’t like none of the songs we did. We probably did two days, two sessions and I ain’t see him again for years. I visited LA and we started wo...
The song writing process for me personally is pretty broad. I can adapt to any situation, but what I prefer the most is just going in a booth and staying in there until the song is done. I feel like it’s more pressure that way on myself. If I come out, I feel like I can relax. I don’t want to relax....
