Flooded
Flooded
I was heading east, I passed the gardens
I had a deadline that I needed to meet
I tried to clear some space in my mind
And I needed to be on the run
I hated that I was running away
But I couldn't go any other direction
I was flooded with the memories of you
That I was trying to forget
And there you were
Like I've always seen you
You're still on time
Like I've always known you to be
You're just a drop of the river
Filling spaces in my head
Now I'm heading back home tonight
I feel like I should let you know
So you don't try to follow me this time
I'm going where you will never go
I'm sorry, darling, I can't stay for long
You're taking up more than I need
I swear I'm trying to clean me of you
And we'll move on with our lives
And there you were
Like I've always seen you
You're still on time
Like I've always known you to be
You're just a drop of the river
Filling spaces in my head
But here you are again
And I know you'll still stay
You're still flooding the gates
And breaking what I've built
Once a drop of the river
You've become an arrogant sea
I thought you were the river
But now you're the sea
You still flow through my blood
Wrecking every piece of me
