One look was all that it took;

       I know that's such a cliché line,
pulled straight from the pages of any       fairytale book,

But your sun-kissed eyes swept me under
And
       under
And
         under.

Have you ever seen a crystal clear ocean floor?
Me neither.
    But I looked up, tugged on the door
and saw light pouring through the water.

As if I was swimming in air, instead of the Atlantic

And if love was a ship, I'd be sinking faster than the titanic;
Falling under
And
        under
And
        under.

And if love was a noise, darlin' we'd be rolling thunder-
Cracking across the waves, making them dance like
it's their last night to be breathing
Because electricity can't run forever

Atleast, that's what I thought before this hectic weather
never seemed to stop;

Dragging me under
And
        under
And
        under.

And if love is a place to rest,
then I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather stay

Than here in your 8th world wonder.
