My lyrics are usually much lighter, happier, so let me know if I should keep it lighter...
It's obviously about ending a fleeting yet profound relationship--it is a mix of aggressive retrospective regret, silly sarcasm and angry realization, with the residual wonder of what could have been or could theoretically still be.

Song: “No Boat for the Flood”
Verse:
I am in a big snafu, can’t find a way, find my way.
I am made a big fat fool to roll away roll away
Ditch this, crumple me and toss me in, toss me in,
Switch hit, crumble me like porcelain, porcelain
Bridge:
I…have no boat for this rain.
Make it swift, I’ve no boat for this rain
Chorus:
This love was a shooting star so bright but so far
Removed from our grasp. Sure,
This love was a flashing glimpse of, but like the H blimp
We burst from, true rapture.
Verse:
Maybe when I’m reborn you’ll take me back, take me back!
Bella, I’m a Quileute son, we’ll make a pact, make a pact.
You’ll be my kitty and I’ll be your gilla man, gilla man
Who am I kidding, you’ll f*ck me up and kill again, you’ll kill me again.
Bridge:
And I…have no boat for this rain
No, I have no boat for this rain
Chorus
Outro:
If the phone rings will you jump all up and laugh “Oh! It’s him! Oh! It’s him!”
If the phone rings will you just ball up and grrr “Oh, it’s him, oh, it’s him.”
