Bursting in a blood red sky A slow landslide And the world we leave behind There's a way to lose your head And disappear and not return again When I fall to my feet Wearin' my heart on my sleeve All I see just amazes You are the port of my call You shot and leavin' me raw ? Now I know you're amazing 'Cause all I need Is the love you breathe Put your lips on me and I can live under water, Under water, under water! Under water! Bursting with a bright blue sky A slow landslide And the world I've left behind There's a way to lose your head And disappear And not return again When I fall to my feet Wearin' my heart on my sleeve All I see just amazes You are the port of my call You shot and leavin' me raw ? Now I know you're amazing 'Cause all I need Is the love you breathe Put your lips on me and I can live under water, Under water, under water! Under water! Bursting with a blood red sky A slow landslide And the world I've left behind
