[Verse 1]
I feel nervous in a way that can't be named
I dreamt last night of a sign that read "The end of love"
And I remember thinking
Even in my dreaming
It was a good line for a song

[Pre-Chorus]
We were a family pulled from the flood
You tore the floorboards up
And let the river rush in
Not wash away, wash away

[Chorus]
We were reaching in the dark
That summer in New York
Was it so far to fall?
But it didn't hurt at all
Let it wash away, wash away

[Verse 2]
And in a moment of joy and fury I threw myself
From the balcony like my grandmother so many years before me
I've always been in love with you (in love with you)
Could you tell it from the moment that I met you?

[Pre-Chorus]
We were a family pulled from the flood
You tore the floorboards up
And let the river rush in
Not wash away, wash away

[Chorus]
We were reaching in the dark
That summer in New York
Was it so far to fall?
But it didn't hurt at all

[Bridge]
Let it wash away, wash away (let it wash away, wash away)

[Chorus]
We were reaching in the dark
That summer in New York
Was it so far to fall?

Was it so far to fall?
But it didn't hurt at all
Let it wash away, wash away
