Flooded Main Street

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My shoes know every crack In the flooded main street The bakery sign hangs low Like it can't stand the week I keep my curtains drawn When the water starts to rise Even sunlight feels too heavy On my tired little eyes [Pre-Chorus] And I count the church steps One by one If I move too fast I come undone [Chorus] I'm sinking, sinking This town keeps sinking Hold me up, hold me up I can't keep thinking I'm sinking, sinking In the same old rain Say my name, say my name Pull me back again [Verse 2] The post office leaks Through the ceiling tiles Mr. Bell still sweeps the dock But he don't smile Kids kick cans through mud Where the barber used to be And I wear my quiet like A coat no one can see [Pre-Chorus] And I hear the river At my door It says stay down Just a little more [Chorus] I'm sinking, sinking This town keeps sinking Hold me up, hold me up I can't keep thinking I'm sinking, sinking In the same old rain Say my name, say my name Pull me back again [Bridge] If I could climb that water tower I'd leave my shadow there Watch the roofs turn silver Watch the windows stare But my hands are made of lead tonight My chest is full of stone So I light one tiny match And try to make it home [Chorus] I'm sinking, sinking This town keeps sinking Hold me up, hold me up I can't keep thinking I'm sinking, sinking In the same old rain Say my name, say my name Pull me back again [Outro] Pull me back again Pull me back again I am here I am here
