Rising Water Lyrics by James Vincent McMorrow
[Intro]
Ooh, Ooh [x4]
Oh Oh Oh
[Verse 1]
We're in it now, everybody knows
What I've become
Truth is I never once was sad
For what I've done
It's like a game where everybody dies
And has no fun
Still I want to play even if I end
Back where I've begun
[Chorus]
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
[Post-Chorus]
Mile from nowhere [x2]
Ooh, Ooh [x2]
Oh Oh Oh
[Verse 2]
What happens now?
It's your lucky day
It's your lucky day
So write it down
Guess we're gone astray
Guess we're gone astray
I wish I cried
It's your lucky day
It's your lucky day
It wasn't mine
Guess we're gone astray
Guess we're gone astray
[Chorus]
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
[Post-Chorus]
Mile from nowhere [x2]
Ooh, Ooh [x2]
Oh Oh Oh
[Bridge]
When I wake, realize you were gone
So I sat at the edge of the lawn
Days go by still no sign
Of your ghost
Never call, never write
It's a loss
[Chorus]
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Mile from nowhere [x4]
[Outro]
Oh, Oh, Oh [x6]

It's like a game where everybody dies
And has no fun
Still I want to play even if I end
Back where I've begun
[Chorus]
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
[Post-Chorus]
Mile from nowhere [x2]
Ooh, Ooh [x2]

Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive

Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere

Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Mile from nowhere [x4]
[Outro]
Oh, Oh, Oh [x6]
