The song has lyrics that refer to a “natural disaster love” and make many allusions to shipwreck, the sea,...
[Verse 1]
Turn the lights out, in the lighthouse
I saw you coming
Felt the ship wreck
Saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling
Just then, that's when I saw your reflection in the sand
Wondering where you were washed up
Oh, I ran to the water, mmm
I can put my hands down in it
But It won't bring nothing up
Sitting at the shore all day, waiting on the tide to come
[Chorus]
But you can't hold on to water
If fills you up, but never stays
It's only good to wash away, today
And your lovin' me like water
You're slippin' through my fingers such
A natural disaster love
Bringing on the flood of love
Love me like a flood of love
Bring it on
[Verse 2]
Stayed the night out, by the beach house, it's oh so quiet
Lit a candle by the window, so you might find it
Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home
Still, I can't help but think I could have saved you from drowning
Ohh, oh
I can put my hands down in it, yeah
But it won't bring nothing up (Ohh)
Sitting on the shore all day
Just waiting on the tide to come
[Chorus]
But you can't hold on to water
If fills you up, but never stays
It's only good to wash away, today
And your lovin' me like water
You're slippin' through my fingers such
A natural disaster love
Bringing on the flood of love
Love me like a flood of love
Bring it on
[Bridge]
I knew the waves were rising, when I felt them all retreating
Went to take a dive in the deep end
Oh, what was I thinking?
[Chorus]
But you can't hold on to water
If fills you up, but never stays
It's only good to wash away, today
And your lovin' me like water
You're slippin' through my fingers such
A natural disaster love
Bringing on the flood of love
Love me like a flood of love (Love me like a flood)
Bring it on
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Rising and falling of my tears
Rising and the falling of my tears have filled the ocean
The ocean, the ocean
My tears have filled the ocean
The ocean, the ocean
