You're humming softly to yourself
You watch the words change for someone else
From an echo in a seashell
[bad word] thought or a long farewell

And tonight I'll dive into your eyes
Will we feel like this for the rest of our lives?
Just a bird, tied to a stone
Do I really want this stone to be thrown?

Under the sea, black and deep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
So shake the leaves off this tree

And in the dark and blue light
I watched the bottle sail into the night
Carried you home, shaking like a leaf
You couldn't swim even though you lived by the sea

flock of owls know your name
Will you promise me to stay the same?

Buried my hands in your cold sand
I looked up and saw the sun light up again
Night after night, follow you home
Night after night, I saw your footsteps in the snow

(Under the sea, black and deep) (5X)

Under the sea, black and deep

Everything I give is everything that I keep (12X)
