Sea-Level

Verse 1
I'm better with words than pictures
So close your eyes and listen
Make this parking lot into a dance floor
Hold me closer than ever before
I'm tired of being hurt
It's someone else's turn
What would you do if you woke up and I was gone?
Would you chase me down and hold me and admit that you were wrong?

Chorus
Every kiss in your fucking car
Was another step toward my broken heart
I should have stopped
I wanted to stop
But now I'm below sea level
Begging to come back up
The storm in my stomach will not subside
And my lighthouse heart could no longer survive

Verse 2
So if it's love or the drugs
Give me the drugs
Because love is beautiful
But can't make me numb
And all my worries crumble in the dopamine flood
And I can feel the calm rush from my lungs into my blood
Dear God, give me a reason to stay
I had every ounce of gold until he took it all away

Bridge
Kiss my glass heart with diamonds!
Can you feel the ghosts inside us?

Chorus
Every kiss in your fucking car
Was another step toward my broken heart
I should have stopped
I wanted to stop
But now I'm below sea level
Begging to come back up
The storm in my stomach will not subside
And my lighthouse heart could no longer survive

Verse 3
Wrapped up in chains
You're anchored in my heart
I bleed rust now that my veins fell apart
And both my beating chambers
Are ticking out of tune
You're pulling me apart
Like tides are pulled by the moon
So forget the ticking time bomb
I threw my last grenade
War on the seas is rough
My sinking ship will not be saved

Chorus
Every kiss in your fucking car
Was another step toward my broken heart
I should have stopped
I wanted to stop
But now I'm below sea level
Begging to come back up
The storm in my stomach will not subside
And my lighthouse heart could no longer survive

Verse 4
You can't miss someone you drowned out at sea
So don't you try and lie to me
Now I'm forgotten, a long lost eye sore
But I've never wanted to be anything more
Do you think I will ever see you again,
Or will you remain with the fishes swimming around my head?
