lyrics

On an ocean you lay fast asleep
And you don’t know what lies beneath
The waters that are sure to rise
To swallow up your blackened eyes

You take aim with your cannonball and rip right through me
In your crosshairs aint no place to be

Take hold
I can’t get it out of my head
Let go
I’d pull you out if I could
Take hold
And I would not choose to forget
If I could

No longer can you hear them speak
The secrets that were yours to keep
Your tolerance is wearing thin
Like the band aids on your worn out skin

You take aim with your cannonball and rip right through me
In your crosshairs aint no place to be

Take hold
I can’t get it out of my head
Let go
I’d pull you out if I could
Take hold
And I would not choose to forget if I could

Hold your head up above the water
Hold you head up above the water

Take hold
I can’t get it out of my head
Let go
I’d pull you out if I could
Take hold
And I would not choose to forget if I could
