Stay Down (Way Down)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fallout from the parting waters
Smothering our sons and daughters
Some swim
Some float
Washed out of particular seas
Splayed out in front of me
Right in front of me
I wanna swim in a beautiful ocean
Feel waves with low emotion
A little change
A little hope
In the crowd it’s a bit lonely
Competitively holy
Race to the knees
Crawl out to the finish line
Crossover in the nick of time
Just another sign
Best to keep that body down
Stay down
Don’t see anything I can do
And now
I stay down
I'm never gonna leave my room
Stay down
Cause I’ve never been this close to you
So now
I stay down
Stay down
Some words ring better than others
Limiting the sounds we mutter
Some sing
Some don’t
A little piece of a beautiful world
Once said and overheard
Once was overheard
Fall onto the cutting board
Come around to what may lay in store
In another world
Never keep that body down
Stay down
Don’t see anything I can do
And now
I stay down
I'm never gonna leave my room
Stay down
Cause I’ve never been this close to you
So now
I stay down
Stay down
Stay down stay down stay down
Stay down stay down stay down
Stay down stay down stay down
Stay down stay down stay down
It’s in the water
It’s in the ocean
Every bit of every notion
Never keep that body down
Crawl out to the finish line
Crossover in the nick of time
Just another sign
Never keep that body down
Stay down
Don’t see anything I can do
And now
I stay down
I'm never gonna leave my room
Stay down
Cause I’ve never been this close to you
So now
I stay down
Stay down
Stay down stay down stay down
Stay down stay down stay down
Stay down stay down stay down
Stay down stay down
Way down way down stay down
(It’s in the water
It’s in the ocean
Every bit of every notion
Never keep that body down)
Stay down stay down
Way down way down stay down
(It’s in the water
It’s in the ocean
Every bit of every notion
Never keep that body down)
Stay down stay down
Way down way down stay down
