Christie McCarthy - Flood Gates Lyrics

I dont remember who I was then, but I think Im about to find out

Could be the sweat of this hot summer wind or maybe just this taste in my mouth

But the floodgates they wont wait for you

And maybe I dont know myself, but the floodgates do



Very old and residual, a rains been falling and no one noticing, everybody keeping dry inside

So heres a metaphor, Ive got a reservoir chained to my soul and its overflowing, everybody gonna watch me cry

But the floodgates, they wont wait for me

And maybe Im blind to the vision of myself, but the floodgates see



They see right through you like an angel in the sky

Staring through and daring you to lie



And the floodgates, they wont wait, they wont wait for you

And maybe I dont know myself, but the floodgates do
