A Polaroid of the Flood

Lyrics for the song ‘A Polaroid of the Flood’ by Abu Sayed. Explore the story behind the music.

I keep the memory warm inside my hands
A quiet moment where the water met the land
Your shadow dancing softly on the wood
A perfect picture, a polaroid of the flood
The midnight rain was washing out the road
We had nowhere to be, nowhere to go
I pulled you closer underneath the light
And watched the colors melting in the night
Every drop against the glass is calling out your name
I feel the embers glowing, catching into flame
I trace the outline of your smile across the room
And suddenly the dark is coming into bloom
Oh, let the water rise around our open door
I never wanted anybody this much before
You are the gentle wave that pulls me in the deep
A beautiful surrender that I want to keep
Just you and me and the falling rain
I’d live that washed-out night again
I remember how the candle caught your eye
A little spark beneath a heavy, clouded sky
You whispered secrets that I locked away
A kind of magic that the storm could never sway
Every drop against the glass is calling out your name
I feel the embers glowing, catching into flame
I trace the outline of your smile across the room
And suddenly the dark is coming into bloom
Oh, let the water rise around our open door
I never wanted anybody this much before
You are the gentle wave that pulls me in the deep
A beautiful surrender that I want to keep
Just you and me and the falling rain
I’d live that washed-out night again
The quiet current takes the broken pieces far
Leaving only truth and exactly who we are
Even as the tide is heavy and the skies bleed
You will always have this beating heart of Sayed
There is nothing left to hide inside the gray
Just a timeless kind of love that wants to stay
Oh, let the water rise around our open door
I never wanted anybody this much before
You are the gentle wave that pulls me in the deep
A beautiful surrender that I want to keep
