Rushing Waters
There is a desperation in knowing that you can't hold on to someone who is eager to walk away. The tears, and the floodgates of hope and sorrow are only a temporary safeguard against the inevitable. The speaker longs to stop what they know has already begun. But as it slips away, they aren't surprised.

Verse
The air is heavy
The world is still
I sit here waiting
Elbows the window sill
Pre-chorus
The tears come like the rain,
The waters roll but I can't complain
Each day seems to look the same
And I'm tired of the endless game
Chorus
The rains come down, the waters rise
Still you look at me like you're surprised
You couldn't see the floodgates in my eyes
Still you'll walk away when it all dries
Only the rushing waters keep you here
Verse
The air is quiet
And the world is dark
You lit me up
You were once the spark
Pre-chorus
The tears come like the rain,
The waters roll but I can't complain
Each day seems to look the same
And I'm tired of the endless game
Chorus
The rains come down, the waters rise
Still you look at me like you're surprised
You couldn't see the floodgates in my eyes
Still you'll walk away when it all dries
Only the rushing waters keep you here
Bridge
We're on dry land now
So run away if you can
I can't keep here
Can't make you understand
Because
Chorus
The rains come down, the waters rise
Still you look at me like you're surprised
You couldn't see the floodgates in my eyes
Still you'll walk away when it all dries
Only the rushing waters keep you here
