I had to pay for the high of loving you endless
And now I'm forever indebted, perpetually severed
But I don't regret it, 'cause I touched the heavens, it doesn't get better
All the things I should have said
I scream at enemies and friends
And they pretend
They cannot hear me
Everything I used to be
Isn't coming easily
And last night when I was asleep
I dreamed I swam til I could swim no more
Followed you where oceans have no floor, and I let go
It felt like freedom for one moment, maybe more, when I woke I was so sure
That I belong in those seas with ya
In that purple psychedelia
'Cause you took my reason to breathe with ya
Ophelia
I know you go wherever I go, that's no consolation
Capitulating to pain all the same I woke up screaming your name again on Saturday
Is there somebody who can hold me?
You're the only one who knows me
Will the water give me forgiveness?
All the hell inside my head
Resting on this river bed
So every night I meet you there
I dreamed I swam til I could swim no more
Followed you where oceans have no floor, and I let go
It felt like freedom for one moment, maybe more, when I woke I was so sure
That I belong in those seas with ya
In that purple psychedelia
'Cause you took my reason to breathe with ya
Ophelia
She said don't hold onto me
Oh won't you set me free?
It's not your time for sailing
I know it's wrong
She said that under these seas
I learned to breathe finally
On shores you cannot yet see
I go on
I dreamed I swam til I could swim no more
Followed you where oceans have no floor, and I let go
It felt like freedom for one moment, maybe more, when I woke I was so sure
That I belong in those seas with ya
In that purple psychedelia
Where you took my reason to breathe with ya
Ophelia
