gasp / the reflex

hold your head underwater 'till the noises died

and hold your head underwater 'till the bubbles died

'till those bubbles stop

and desire

like a purpose

and you gasp

i'm in love with this idea

i'm in love with this moment

all my days flow before me

and i want you to know them

no

i want you beside me

oh my dear

oh my dear

hold your head underwater 'till the noises start

and hold your head underwater 'till the noises start

and not always but some days you get it right

some days i get it right

and not always but some days oh i get it right

some days i get it right

hold your head underwater 'till the noises start

and hold your head underwater 'till the noises start

and you're weightless

nearly weightless

you're a volunteer

a vulnerable souvenir

ready and willing to fall

hold your head underwater 'till the noises die

and hold your head underwater 'till the noises stop

'till those noises die

and desire

like a purpose

and you gasp
