Lyrics

Diving for Hearts

'Til then I wasn't alive
I longed for you like the lovesick moon pulls the tide
So I peeled off my skin
I just slipped right in
And I become alive

'Cause down here there's no fear
There's no cause for panic
There's just bright, cold calm
Yeah, I feel no harm
This underwater feeling's abandon and it fires my heart

Was it emotion?
Or should I keep on diving
Keep on diving down?
Under this ocean
I long to keep on diving
'Til my heart is found
It's got a hold on me
Can't forget the things I've seen

Worlds will all end
And new worlds will begin
It's a thought so stark
We're at once determinant
Yet so insignificant
Spinning out in the velvet dark

Still, down here, there's no fear
There's no cause for panic
There's just this bright, cold calm
Yeah, it leaves a scar
So show me how to find it again
If I'm lost, show me where you are

Was it emotion?
Or should I keep on diving
Keep on diving down?
Under this ocean
I long to keep on diving
'Til my heart is found
It's got a hold on me
Can't forget the things I've seen

(You have sheltered me)
(In the heart of the sea)
(Deep calls unto the deep)
(You break a sweat over me)

To be wild and to run
Over the stones into the sea

Something's got a hold on me
Can't forget the things I've seen
