This Sea in Me

[to kill this]

There's an ocean deep down inside of me
and when you touch me, the water
rushes and the tide surges, and I struggle to keep
the waves from knocking me down
I brush myself off and I look around
Did anyone notice, that little slip
from just one kiss?

I can't even admit it to myself
that I could finally have something to lose
so scared to get attatched, to find myself looking back
remembering and grieving for you

I built a castle down on the beach
that leads to that ocean deep down inside of me
we play pretend, you're king, I'm queen
So I can catch myself, just say "It's all a dream"
that you don't mean anything
I try to draw the moat, so you won't go for a swim,
but slowly, and ever so wonderfully, you dip your feet in

I can't even admit it to myself
that I could finally have something to lose
so scared to get attached, to find myself looking back
remembering and grieving for you

I can feel it building up
I can no longer deny this, this love
I say it out loud, strong and proud
but no one is around
just me on the beach
your strong hands reach for me
I let you throw me in the sea
your beautiful eyes like lullabies
and I can't breathe
I can't deny, I can't hide
I give up, pull you to my side,
whisper in your ear
can you hear this?
can you feel this?
God I'm so scared,
but I admit it, but I admit it

I finally have something to lose
and I'm investing it all in you
I'm getting attatched and I bet
one day I'll look back, so sad
and yet I fall even further down
even further down
even further down

but for now i sit on my hands
fake a smile and dance
waiting for my chance,
I jump in the sea
and wait for you to join me
