I wish i was you
A piece of gold at the bottom of the blue
To heavy to swim
But too beautiful to lose
Hold in my breath
And diving down to give you air
I never knew
The colours that surround you
(wake up, wake up)
Holding on forever to keep you
To keep you from slipping too deep
If you want to escape you don't need to
Just look for me
I'm taking in water for you, my love
Pulling you out, i'll take the blue away
I'm taking water, my brother, remember
I'm taking water for you
You picked up the light
The spectrum back to turn to white
Too bright to be seen
Wish the beautiful boy was me
Never alone
Sky's a different shade of grey
Making you glow
The colours dance around you
(wake up, wake up)
Holding on forever to keep you
To keep you from slipping too deep
If you want to escape you don't need to
Just look for me
I'm taking in water for you, my love
Pulling you out, i'll take the blue away
I'm taking water, my brother, remember
I'm taking water for you
Tresures are lost
On the bed
And they're buried down in your soul
Buried down in you soul
(wake up, wake up)
Holding on forever to keep you
To keep you from slipping too deep
If you want to escape you don't need to
Just look for me
I'm taking in water for you, my love
Pulling you out, i'll take the blue away
I'm taking water, my brother, remember
I'm taking water for you
