I wish I'd never touched the surface of the sun
suddenly, I'm burning brightly, burning too bright, falling faster to the sea
and I'm anchored to the ocean floor below,
sleeping softly, on and on, between my daydreams and my nightmares of the sun
I'm anchored to the ocean floor, I'm anchored
the words were there, but I had never heard them, not like this
I'm anchored to the ocean floor, I'm anchored
I stood at the bottom while I watch as lovers share a first kiss
I remember it like it happened only moments ago
in November, this will be the only thing I'll have left to hold
these creatures stare at me while passing on their way
can I touch them now, or when they sleep,
or will they try to stop me if I do?
and I'm angry at the waves from far below
can they see that I am trying?
I am like them, reaching for anything else
my arms are reaching out but I was always trying to go where I could never go before
am I alive? is it over now?
I can still feel the cold, I can see that I'm still alone
my arms are reaching out but I was always trying to go where I could never go before
am I alive? is it over now?
I can still feel the cold, I can see that I'm still alone
I caught them swimming down below,
I found them running
my friends were there, but I had never seen them, not like this
I caught them swimming down below
I found them running
I lay at the bottom while I wait for my lovers last kiss
I remember it like it happened only moments ago
in November, this will be the only thing I'll have left to hold
I remember it like it happened only moments ago
in November, this will be the only thing I'll have left to hold
to hold onto
