Songtext zu 'Underwater Bride' von Passenger

Help me stay awake, I’m falling asleep
And I don’t want to fall asleep while you’re here
You’re gonna leave when the alarm clock beeps
And it will beep any moment, my dear

And all that we have will be locked into memory
Like everything that we’ve had before
So I will stay awake
And I will watch the fire burning
And keep the hungry wolves from the door

Help me find my way back to the bread crumbs
I’ve wandered alone through the trees
The lights are dimming in the windows of the houses
And my heart is starting to freeze

See, we have a light but we won’t use it
We’re scared we’ll lose it if we don’t use it
Then we’ll die here in the dark
And they will find us hopeless and helpless
And clutching our frozen hearts

But you and I, well, we’ll be buried side by side
And time, it won’t mean a thing
I’ll be your underground groom
You’ll be my underground bride

Please, can you help me keep my head above the water
I have cramp in both of my calves
Yeah, my lungs are filling up with cold dirty water
But I’ve a sickness that is making me laugh
See we have boat but we don't think it
We’re scared we’ll sink but we’ll drink it
If we never find that raft
We will sink down to the bottom of the ocean
With the fishes that glow in the dark

But you and I, well, we’ll sink down side by side
And time, it won’t mean a thing
I’ll be your underwater groom
You’ll be my underwater bride
And, oh, the lights are fading my love
And, oh, the water’s filling me up
And, oh, the lights are fading my love
