| 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. |
