Some hearts are built on a floodplain Keeping one eye on the sky for rain You work for the ground that gets washed away When you live closer Closer to the life and the ebb and flow Closer to the edge of I don't know Closer to that's the way it goes Some hearts are built on a floodplain And it's easy to sigh on a high bluff Look down and ask when you've had enough Will you have the sense to come on up Or will you stay closer Closer to the danger and the rolling deep Closer to the run and the losing streak And what brings us to our knees Some hearts live here Oh the river it rushes to madness And the water it spreads like sadness And there's no high ground And there's no high ground Closer to the danger and the rolling deep Closer to the run and the losing streak And what brings us to our knees Closer to the life and the ebb and flow Closer to the edge of I don't know Closer to Lord please send a boat Some hearts are built here
