Water creep through the windows
Up the stairs
Chilling rain
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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] look up to you
And six feet under water
I do
All you've ever wanted 
Was someone to [bad word] look up to you
And six feet under ground now I
Now I do

(The Little Things Give You Away)
