Flood

Baby girl, Im watching over you
And our mother told us what we cannot do
Its pouring down, its taking over you
Thank God our mother told us what we cannot do

Youve got the lines
Youve got the makeup to make it out alive
Did you forget what water does to your crooked smile?
Wash it away and youre left with nothing
Nothing but a face
Thank God our mother taught us what we cannot erase

Climb up the ladder
Dont drop your eyes until you hit the top
Its scary up there if you dont say your prayers before you start to fall
People below you
Youre sure theyll catch you
But you are wrong
Thank God your mother finally showed you where you belong

Youve got the sad lies
Youve got the bad guys on your side
And pretty girls that break my sister
To me shell confideits getting higher, its my last chance now
Dont say no
Thank God our mother told us where you will go
