Corinne Bailey Rae - Diving for Hearts




Till then I wasn't alive, 


I longed for you like the lovesick moon pulls the tide. 
So I peeled off my skin, 
I just slipped right in 
And I become alive. 

'Cause down here there's no fear 
There's no cause for panic 
There's just bright cold calm, 
I feel no harm. 
This underwater feeling's abandon and it fires my heart. 

Was it emotion 
Or should I just keep on diving, 
Keep on diving down? 
Under this ocean 
I long to keep on diving, 
Till my heart is found. 
It's got a hold on me. 

Can't forget the things I've seen...

World will all end 
And new worlds will begin 
It's a thought so stark. 
We're at once determinant, 
Yet so insignificant, 
Spinning out in the velvet dark. 

Still, down here 
There's no fear 
There's no cause for panic 
There's just this bright cold calm 
Yeah, it leaves a scar 
So show me how to find again, 
If I'm lost, show me where you are.
