Flood gates, can’t wait
Here [bad word]  shut’em fast
Better shut’em fast
Too late, swept away
Feel [bad word] after the fact
 [bad word] up beneath me
Never been in love so
Deeply before

I am close to the waterline
I thought that I’d been over my head
For the last time
I’m so close to the waterline
And the way I’m loving her now
I know this is bound to go down as the big one.

Whistle blast, lights flash
Throw a rope, grab a hold
Feel the undertow
She laughs, waves crash
What’s the use I can’t let her go
 [bad word] up beneath me
Never been in love so
Deeply before

I am close to the waterline
I thought that I’d been over my head
For the last time
I’m so close to the waterline
And the way I’m loving her now
I know this is bound to go down as the big one.

Flood gates, can’t wait
Here [bad word]  shut’em fast
Better shut’em fast
Too late, swept away
Feel [bad word] 

I am close to the waterline
And the way I’m loving her now
I know this is bound to go down as the one

I am close to the waterline
I thought that I’d been over my head
For the last time
I’m so close to the waterline
And the way I’m loving her now
I know this is bound to go down as the big one.
