florence + the machine | heavy in your arms
I was a heavy heart to carry
my beloved was weighed down
my arms around his neck
my fingers laced to crown.
I was a heavy heart to carry
my feet dragged across ground
and he took me to the river
where he slowly let me drown

florence + the machine | what the water gave me (demo)
‘cause they took your loved ones
but returned them in exchange for you
but would you have it any other way?
would you have it any other way?
you could have it any other way
‘cause she’s a cruel mistress
and the bargain must be made
but oh, my love, don’t forget me
when I let the water take me
so, lay me down
let the only sound
be the over flow
pockets full of stones

florence + the machine | swimming
rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor
sinking like a siren that can’t swim anymore
your songs remind me of swimming
but I can’t swim any more
pull me out the water, cold and blue
I open my eyes and I see that it’s you
so I dive straight back in the ocean
so I dive straight back in the ocean
take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest
take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest
and cross my fingers, and hope for the best

florence + the machine | never let me go
looking up from underneath
fractured moonlight on the sea
reflections still look the same to me
as before I went under
and it’s peaceful in the deep
‘cause either way you cannot breathe
no need to pray, no need to speak
now I am under
oh, and it’s breaking over me
a thousand miles out to the sea bed
found the place to rest my head

hurricane bells | into the ocean (cover)
now floating up and down
I spin colliding into sound
like whales beneath me diving down
I’m sinking to the bottom of my
everything that freaks me out
the lighthouse beam has just run out
I’m cold as cold as cold can be
I want to swim away but don’t know how
sometimes it feels just like I’m falling in the ocean
let the waves up take me down
let the hurricane set in motion… yeah
let the rain of what I feel right now…come down
let the rain come down
where is the coastguard?
I keep looking each direction
for a spotlight, give me something
I need something for protection
maybe flotsam junk will do just fine
the jetsam sunk, I’m left behind
I’m treading for my life believe me
(how can I keep up this breathing?)
not knowing how to think
I scream aloud, begin to sink
my legs and arms are broken down
with envy for the solid ground
I’m reaching for the life within me
how can one man stop his ending?
I thought of just your face
relaxed and floated into space

I am kloot | same deep water as me
swim out to the ocean
drown your thought out at sea
and dip your hands in the water
the same deep water as me
you’ve been watching for cloudbursts
you’ve been praying for rain
drench your soul in the water
cleanse your heart of the stain
cleanse your heart of the stain
the river of love
flows deep through the night
rolls you in with the waves
drags you out with the tides
swim out to the ocean
and drown our thoughts out at sea
and dipped your hands in the water
the same deep water as me

love & theft | drowning
searching for something can’t seem to find
the blood on your fingers, still on my mind
and I just wish I could forgive you
walking for days now there’s nowhere to go
chasing horizons being alone
I don’t know where I should run to
let the sun rise on me and never fade away
so save me I’m drowning alive
and keep me from dying inside
I only want to find my way back home
but I can’t make it alone
caught in a landslide with nowhere to hide
chasing distractions empty inside
I’m still waiting for salvation
let the sun light lift me and never fade away
so save me I’m drowning alive
and keep me from dying inside
I only want to find my way back home
but I can’t make it alone

gavin mikhail | I will follow you into the dark (cover)
no blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
just our hands clasped so tight
waiting for the hint of a spark
if heaven and hell decide
that they both are satisfied
illuminate the nos on their vacancy signs
if there’s no one beside you
when your soul embarks
then I’ll follow you into the dark

birdy | shelter
can it be
was I there?
felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown whenever you leave
please teach me gently on how to breathe
and I’ll cross oceans like never before
so you can feel the way I feel it too
and I’ll send images back at you
so you can see the way I feel it too

eri kitamuta and ai nonaka - and I’m home
no matter how many times you feel that way
there will always be warmth here
even if it was a mistake, I don’t care, I’ll always be by your side.
with the sound of tears and the looks of a sigh
I’m sure this is where we are now

ningyo hime (mermaid princess) - rie tanaka
[translation from here: http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/chobits/ningyohime.htm ]
hey I found you
and so, without leaving you again
no matter how much I hurt inside I’ll always be near you
I’ll never release
your hand that I held
hey I found you
and so without leaving you again
no matter how much I hurt inside I’ll always be near you
forever
forever
