"Levee" lyrics - OF MICE & MEN

Feel the rain
Feel the rain

It's cold, cloudy, windy, and wet
I see the sun, inside my head
It's warm there, and I need the warmth
More than I ever have
Do my eyes deceive me?
Totally alone and yet surrounded
"What is the plan, and what can I do?"
To stop the rain from coming?

It touches everything I love
The rain touches everything I love
Until it's all washed away

And when that mean old levee
Finally cracks and breaks
You better learn to walk on water
Or fly with broken wings

It's cold, cloudy, windy, and wet
The storm just rages inside my head
It knows no end
It just keeps on raining
Senses trigger the brutal stings
Of every possibility and memory
And it just keeps on raining
Down, down, down

It touches everything we love
The rain touches everything we love
Until it's all washed away

And when that mean old levee
Finally cracks and breaks
You better learn to walk on water
Or fly with broken wings

It can only rain for so long
It can only rain for so long
It can only rain for so long
Before it washes us away
It can only rain for so long
It can only rain for so long
It can only rain for so long
Before it washes us away

It can only rain for so long
It can only rain for so long
It can only rain for so long
Before it washes us away
It can only rain for so long
The levee's gonna break before long
And I can only swim for so long
So maybe it's our time to drown
