I don't know why, when I think about things
In way too much depth, I swim in my head
I think about life, I think about death
I think about love, then I sink and I shedAnd you're deeper than the ocean
Deeper than your face
Deeper than your body which is the only place
Where your eyes are like lights that only get used on single nights
Because she don't see more than thisAll the doubts and the feelings that I'm harbouring
Because there's no use fighting them anymore
Everyone's wanted a piece of my mind
But never a piece of my heart before
You came along and opened my doors
In spite of my denial you always wanted more
And your eyes were like lights, but not only used for single nights
Because you saw there's more than thisAnd I would say that you're my best friend
But you would linger a little too long
Which is why I felt like that's not the end
And I felt that a little too strong
On that night when you said that you liked me
I thought someone like me, for you, is too amiss
On that night you said you wanted to fix me
Then I saw it could me more than thisI don't know why, when I think about things
In way too much depth, I swim in my head
I think about life, I think about death
I think about you, then I sink and I shedWhen I saw your eyes darken like a sunset
'Cause I told somebody that you and I are just friends
But I don't even know if I really said what I meant
Maybe I want more than thisI know you've been watching on me from afar
But now I'm here to tell you that I've set you apart
With your heart in my hands, now your hands can hold mine
Because there must be more than this
