Before we fall into the sea,
Before the light has crushed a kindness in me.
Before the waves had ceased to crash,
I layed, I touched my limbs that hardly fractured or cracked.
Before we fall into the deep,
My feet could see the dark, my chest could hardly breathe.
And I couldn't stop this hole beneath,
These silent ghosts of men, they were pulling at my feet,
Screaming: "Heavy hands, hold me down, hold me down!
Heavy hands pulling me down, pulling me down!"
'Cus all that we found beneath the tide is doubt;
And that ain't good enough.
So swim for shore, till the coast is in sight,
Leave the water to drip from your clothes.
And I'll be there to hold you tight,
Warm you up with my body and bones.
Somehow this love just got out of hand,
And we lied as dove to the deep.
So the water will rush, you'll scream: "Pull me back up!"
And I left you to go back to sleep.
And we heard them scream:
"Heavy hands, hold me down, hold me down.
Heavy hands pulling me down."
Screaming: "Heavy hands, hold me down, hold me down.
Heavy hands pulling me down."
'Cus all that we found beneath the tide is doubt;
That ain't good enough.
This one time I'll do right by you, this one time.
This one place will be brighter, this one place.
This one time I'll do right by you this one time.
This one place will be brighter, this one place.
This one time I'll do right by you!
This one place will be brighter!
This one time I'll do right by you, this one time.
This one place will be brighter, this one place.
This one time, I'll do right by you this on time.
This one place will be brighter, this one place.
