Have you seen the way that I stand beside you Like the trees by the ocean All bent by the wind And it takes a flood for us to know That we're slowly sinking And this is an emergency I think we're maybe drowning But I'm afraid to tell you Cause I don't want things changing This is an emergency I think we're maybe drowning But I'm afraid to tell you Cause I don't want things changing I think that I'm the most serious woman to call herself a silly girl I think that I'm the most serious woman to call herself a silly girl I'm waiting for another word (Would you) The two brown hens you keep in your yard Make me feel like I'm home again My neighbour's out on his front porch Listening to your kind of music That woman's voice is singing of summer Reminding me that I'm slowly sinking And this is an emergency I think we're maybe drowning But I'm afraid to tell you I don't want things changing And this is an emergency I think we're maybe drowning But I'm afraid to tell you 'Cause I don't want things changing And this is an emergency I think we're maybe drowning But I'm afraid to tell you I don't want things changing And this is an emergency I think we're maybe drowning But I'm afraid to tell you I don't want things changing I don't want things changing I don't want things changing I wanna leave my lights on I wanna drive my car home I wanna buy some more clothes I wanna take a long trip I wanna laugh at your jokes I wanna see where you go I wanna take things real slow I wanna take the long road Don't say what you think I want to hear Don't say what you think I want to hear Tell me what you want Tell me what you want I'll tell you I wanna leave my lights on I wanna drive my car home I wanna buy some more clothes I wanna take a long trip (The year 2078, I will celebrate my 75th birthday If I have children maybe they will spend that day with me Maybe they will ask me about you Maybe they will ask why you didn't do anything) We'll all be underwater someday We'll all be underwater someday We'll all be underwater someday We'll all be underwater We'll all be underwater I'll be underwater someday I'll be underwater I'll be underwater
