Lost Battle

from LOVE LOVE debut album by LOVE LOVE

/

lyrics

Late December
When I last saw you
You placed your hand gently on my back
Power-surged electricity
Caught us both off guard
And then that was that

You burst the floodgates wide open
And now the levee’s coming down
We’re underwater
Can’t someone get us to higher ground

Cuz I don’t think I’m strong enough
And I don’t think I’m wise enough
To Battle this mad love attack

I pokerfaced, you called my bluff
Forced my fold and now I’m out
With no way of ever coming back

I tried avoiding
And tried ignoring
But I’m too far gone for that
So man your station
And I’ll prepare to hunker down

I don’t think I’m strong enough
And I don’t think I’m wise enough
To battle this mad love attack

You saw a diamond in the rough
Kissed me once and woke me up
And now I never wanna go back

You burst the floodgates wide open
And now the levee’s coming down
I can’t hold on much longer
Somebody help me now
