[Verse 1] Down where the windows break I learned the shape of blue Jellyfish drift by the train Like paper lanterns through My room is all tide and glass A pearl in the silted dark I kept your name in my mouth Like a light inside a shark [Pre-Chorus] Then you passed me slow In a dress of foam With your hands full of stars And a wrecked gold comb You looked right through My rust and bones Said, "There’s room for two" At the ocean’s floor [Chorus] Bottom of the sea You found me, found me Bottom of the sea Hold me, hold me In the cosmopolitan deep We dance with the sharks Bottom of the sea You found me, found me [Verse 2] We take the tram made of coral rails Past the market of shells and smoke The squid sell pearls by the pound And the octopus tells a joke Your laugh cuts through the brine Like a knife through a velvet dress I was built for the wreckage here But you made it feel like a rest [Pre-Chorus] Then you pulled me close Past the ferry lights To a corner booth Made of driftwood nights You said, "Baby, stay" So I stayed below Where the whole world hums In a turquoise glow [Chorus] Bottom of the sea You found me, found me Bottom of the sea Hold me, hold me In the cosmopolitan deep We dance with the sharks Bottom of the sea You found me, found me [Bridge] Now the tide can climb Let it scrape the glass I got your hand in mine And the undertow can pass If the surface burns We don't have to go We made our home in the dark With the schools of silver slow [Final Chorus] Bottom of the sea You found me, found me Bottom of the sea Hold me, hold me In the cosmopolitan deep We dance with the sharks Bottom of the sea You found me, found me Bottom of the sea You found me, found me Bottom of the sea I’m never going back
