lyrics

I don't want to sink to the bottom
But I don't mind sinking with you
Life will float us clear to the surface
Riding undercurrents of truth

I thought I'd rather fly in the sky so high
But that was never part of the game
Until you said you'd swim in the sea with me
Well, now the rules have totally changed

Sink to the bottom with you
Rise on a current of truth
Flying high was never the game
With you the rules have completely changed
