What Lay on the Ocean Floor

[Verse 1] What layed on the floor of the ocean Old glass with your name half erased A bracelet all tangled in seaweed Our summer rusting in place [Chorus] What layed on the floor of the ocean Every promise we dropped, every word we forgot If I could hold my breath long enough Would I find you there or not? (ohh) What layed on the floor of the ocean Was it love, was it just lost motion? [Verse 2] I picture your hand through the water Reaching for something you can’t quite touch Shells and shadows and shipwrecked letters Everything almost enough [Chorus] What layed on the floor of the ocean Every promise we dropped, every word we forgot If I could hold my breath long enough Would I find you there or not? (yeah) What layed on the floor of the ocean Was it love, was it just lost motion? [Bridge] Maybe it’s better it’s buried Heavy things sink for a reason Still I keep diving in memory Getting caught in the currents of a season [Chorus] What layed on the floor of the ocean Every promise we dropped, every word we forgot If I could hold my breath long enough Would I find you there or not? (tell me) What layed on the floor of the ocean Was it us, or a fading notion?
