"Sea Level" lyrics
Lua Flora & Brett Dennen Lyrics
We left in such a hurry
Had to get out of this town
A hurricane is coming
Trying to knock our city down
They say the water will be higher
Than it's been in 50 years
We can rebuild love
Won't you dry your tears
Sure as we all go back to sender
Sure as we leave this place behind
Sure as we turn from ashes to embers
Sure as we run right into time
Keep your eyes on sea level
Waves get rough, then they get mellow
Higher tides, they will settle
I, I know inside
Keep your eyes on sea level
Waves get rough, then they get mellow
Higher tides, they will settle
The sun will always rise
Keep your eyes on sea level
California's burning
Up and down the coast
And I need to get a grip
On the things that matter most
I was alone when I woke up this morning
I'll be alone when I go to bed
But I wasn't alone
When I came into this world
And I won't be when I'm dead
Sure as we all go back to sender
Sure as we leave this place behind
Sure as we turn from ashes to embers
Sure as we run right into time
Keep your eyes on sea level
Waves get rough, then they get mellow
Higher tides, they will settle
I, I know inside
Keep your eyes on sea level
Waves get rough, then they get mellow
Higher tides, they will settle
The sun will always rise
Keep your eyes on sea level
As I drive up north
Trying to get over it all
I deconstruct these storm-proof walls
Maybe a new place, a new face
Will be worth the haul
Water rises and falls
Can't walk till you crawl
Water rises and falls
Water rises and falls
Water rises, rises, and falls
Had to get out of this town
A hurricane is coming
Trying to knock our city down
They say the water will be higher
Than it's been in 50 years
We can rebuild love
Won't you dry your tears
Sure as we all go back to sender
Sure as we leave this place behind
Sure as we turn from ashes to embers
Sure as we run right into time
Keep your eyes on sea level
Waves get rough, then they get mellow
Higher tides, they will settle
I, I know inside
Keep your eyes on sea level
Waves get rough, then they get mellow
Higher tides, they will settle
The sun will always rise
Keep your eyes on sea level
California's burning
Up and down the coast
And I need to get a grip
On the things that matter most
I was alone when I woke up this morning
I'll be alone when I go to bed
But I wasn't alone
When I came into this world
And I won't be when I'm dead
Sure as we all go back to sender
Sure as we leave this place behind
Sure as we turn from ashes to embers
Sure as we run right into time
Keep your eyes on sea level
Waves get rough, then they get mellow
Higher tides, they will settle
I, I know inside
Keep your eyes on sea level
Waves get rough, then they get mellow
Higher tides, they will settle
The sun will always rise
Keep your eyes on sea level
As I drive up north
Trying to get over it all
I deconstruct these storm-proof walls
Maybe a new place, a new face
Will be worth the haul
Water rises and falls
Can't walk till you crawl
Water rises and falls
Water rises and falls
Water rises, rises, and falls
