Floodlit Lyrics by Lowercase

The Going Away Present

1999

Wouldn't I stand over the ocean?
Wouldn't I offer my soul?
Wouldn't I hold out for devotion
To come back and take control?

And I'd show you just what it is to
Be me in love completely
Only I cannot breathe

Flooded out by emotion
I'm sheltered and bestowed
The circumstances surround us now
Leave not one porous stone

Wouldn't I stand over the ocean?
Wouldn't I drown my soul
In the tide of your own tongue
And swallow you up whole?

And the numbness that gripped me senseless
When I first tasted your kiss
Has all but still remained

And it might rise slowly
But it's always known
That it overflows
And it subsides only
When you let me go

And if I sink slowly
Underneath by the weight
It would only show
That she sank before

And the light dies slowly
When you let me go
In a darkened room
And it will shine only
When I wake next to you

When and if I'm blinded
And if I can't say
It would only show
What you let me show

And I owe my life to this
And I owe my life to you
And I want you to know
And I want you to know

I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you

Oh, can you say what you can't deny?
Oh, can you say what you can't deny?
Oh, can you see what you can't deny?
Oh, can you say what you can't deny?
