Water came through the windows, up the stairs

Water came through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling there, like an ocean everywhere

Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted...
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water, I do...

Hope decays, generations disappear
Washed away, as a nation simply stares

Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away
But now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted...
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water, I do...
All you've ever wanted...
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet underground, now I...
Now I do...

Oh... Oh...
The little things give you away... the little things give you away
All you've ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you
All you've ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you
