The sun came down and burnt your face
One way ticket from love to hate
Under where it all begins
All stood still and hollowing
The bird that fell out of its cage
wants to go back there again
Every star is on it's way
You're the only one that stayed
All the time you could have saved
All the time you gave away
You know the heart beneath the waves
the one that I was trying to save
the one that almost slipped away was mine
I was sinking at such pace
holding breathe beneath the waves
The time it takes to compensate is up
Something pulls us into shape
Leaves your body where you lay
Theories come inside my head
filling all the spaces left
You know the heart beneath the waves
the one that I was trying to save
the one that almost slipped away was mine
I was sinking at such pace
holding breathe beneath the waves
The time it takes to compensate is up
I see the waves
and the time it takes for me to be saved
And it's easily the most powerful thing I've ever seen
And you have to know
I couldn't see it here on my own
And you have to know
I couldn't see it here all alone.
