Lyrics

Para

I hold your wrist, you bite your lip

The push becomes an embrace

I touch your face, you close your eyes

The embrace becomes a shove

I walk away, you follow too close

The shove takes hold and there’s nowhere to go

Take it down

Take it all the way

Take it down

Take it all the way down below the waterline

I see you now through a glass wall

All that is you stays with you

All that is me stays with me

But we see it all, we feel it all

And there is no place we can’t go

Take it down

Take it all the way

Take it down

Take it all the way down below the waterline
