lyrics

There’s a girl in the center of the ocean and
i’m hoping i’m her ocean
and i’m hoping she’s my ocean too
Either way we got entirely wet
in a perilous wreck and we sank to the bottom of the sea
where we made friends with a shark
but it was all on a lark
cause we needed to come up for air
and that’s when she told me
don’t let go of my hand

so out of the middle of nowhere came a great bright glow
like it was right from the center of her soul
yea it drew me in, i guess it drew her in too
cause the next thing that i knew
we were in the center of the woods in a circle of light
chanting songs to the sprites
the world started to spin, she said don’t let go of my hand

It's something strange but it's been in my brain yea it's been in my brain
She's in the center of it all
And I can hear her call yea I can hear her call
I can hear her calling
She's tangled up in red, a vibrant stack of webs. I can feel it when she shudders in her sleep

i met her up in the air, i’d never been more scared
you know heights are really my thing
we were on a makeshift broom, a shilouette with the moon
And her flesh it began to sing
they were songs bold and dark on a thread so thin
moving swift like ripples on her skin
ripples on her skin, ripples on her skin

we woke up at home in a suit of bones
i’d never been so white
the dark pulsed out and in, breathing it’s sin
along the corners of her body
I said if I die, and i hope i die, i mean i know i will
i said if i’m gonna die, this wasn’t so bad
