true affection
i was out of your league
and you were twenty thousand underneath the sea
waving affections
you were out of my league
at a distance that i didn't want to see
(down at the bottom)
i wanted a junction and often there was one
you'd surface face first and we'd share thought bubbles
i still believe in the phrases that we breathed
but i know the distance isn't fair to cross
i was out of your league
and you were twenty thousand underneath the sea
waving affections
you were out of my league
at a distance that i didn't want to see
(i wanted you nearer)
your depths made a pressure that punctured my works
and all your fluids couldn't tolerate the force of my thirst
i loved the place where we shared our tiny grace
but just because it's real doesn't mean it's going to work
i was out of your league
and you were twenty thousand underneath the sea
waving affections
you were out of my league
at a distance that i didn't want to see
(i wanted you nearer)
true affection floats
true affection sinks like a stone
i never felt so close
i never felt so all alone
i was out of your league
and you were twenty thousand underneath the sea
waving affections
you were out of my league
at a distance that i didn't want to see
(i wanted you nearer)
