Flash flood
You got too comfortable
So i showed you who's really in control
You gave all your savings to the poor
Lightning on the river
And you're shivering with your fishing pole
Same night you bought a ring and you proposed
You never really know what you can't really see
I'll be fair, i'll be fair
You made it out alive, oh, what a relief
I'll be fair, i'll be fair
Earthquake in your pajamas
Huddled in doorways
While your houses sway
Blue blood pumping a hunter's fist
I love the shape
Your faces make
Oh my, thank you for keeping me safe
Even though you know it don't always go that way
You never really know what you can't really see
I'll be there, i'll be there
You made it out alive, oh, what a relief
I'll be there, i'll be there
Everything will be explained
Your wild guess
Everything will be explained
Go ahead
Everything will be explained
Your wild guess
Everything will be explained
