You won't go to sea and still I think you're braver than me
If I were to leave somehow you would be happy for me
Babies in the dirt, life is a mess and full of meaning
Why aren't we all heard before the world demands our screaming
On the back of a levee
Beside a city still alive after the flood
Can we make it better this time
I promise you I'm not the lover out for blood
Summer in the creek, trees in the dam, and other lovers
Sweaty, restless sleep, a year hotter than any other
Tired, grieving hearts, everything old one time was brand new
Endings and fresh starts, I'm often asking myself what will I do
On the back of a levee
Beside a city still alive after the flood
Can we make it better this time
I promise you I'm not the lover out for blood
I promise you I'm not a lover on the run
I promise you I'm not the lover out for blood
I've been drinking up hurricanes
Before they land
Hold, hold, hold, hold
Sometimes you'll find me sleeveless while others wear winter coats
How differently we must feel the air, some things we can't know
I would rearrange most things to feel good for me and you
What I cannot change I'm learning to be grateful for too
On the back of a levee
Beside a city still alive after the flood
Can we make it better this time
I promise you I'm not the lover out for blood
I promise you I'm not a lover on the run
I promise you I'm not the lover out for blood
I promise you I'm not the lover out for blood

You won't go to sea and still I think you're braver than me
