lyrics

Dust gathers as I soon as I clean it
I’d show you my heart, but I don’t think you’d see it
I fix it but it always breaks
I mostly give, and you mostly take
I like to fly my kite in lightning
Because the rain doesn’t bother me now, not even slightly

So let it flood
I love the damage
Let it flood
I love the damage
I love the damage
Let it flood
I love the damage

I once stole a bottle from a grocery store
And then I got to the bottom so I went back for more
And then the owner called the cops
Something in me loves the chase
Something in me loves to get caught
 So let it flood
I love the damage
Let it flood
I love the damage
I love the damage
Let it flood
I love the damage

And like Mohammed Ali I’ll come back stronger
Ten times the riot
Ten times the quiet
Spend all my money
Live out the rest of my twenties in vain, vain, vain

This other time I broke my arm when I was three
My mother and my brother said I thought it was funny
But I now I think it’s better to cry
Cause you never break exactly the same way twice
You never break exactly the same way twice

So let it flood
I love the damage
Let it flood
I love the damage
I love the damage
Let it flood

I love the damage
I love the damage
I love the damage
