Lyrics

Red Flag Day

I am made of all that I'm afraid of
Most afraid of losing you
Hell's a season, you're the reason
That I even dreamt of getting through

I, I can feel your body shaking
I, I will meet you where the waves are breaking

Baby, it's a red flag day
Baby let's get in the water
Taken out by a wave
Where we've never been before

Baby, it's a red flag day
Baby let's go a bit further
Paradise is a place
You can't see when it's yours

Red flag day
Red flag day

Sun comes stealin', oceanic feeling
Sky will soon be clear
Today we can't afford to be
Afraid of what we fear

I, I can feel your body shaking
I, I will meet you where the waves are breaking

Baby, it's a red flag day
Baby let's get in the water
Taken out by a wave
Where we've never been before

Baby, it's a red flag day
Baby let's go a bit further
Paradise is a place
You can't see when it's yours

Red flag day
Baby, it's a red flag day
Red flag day

Not even news today
So many lost in the sea last night
But one word that the sea can't say
Is no, no, no, no

Baby, it's a red flag day
Baby, it's a red flag day
Red flag day, red flag day, aah, red flag day, aah, red flag day
Baby, let's get in the water
