Silversun Pickups
Stay Down (Way Down)
[Verse 1]
Fall out from the parting waters
Smothering our sons and daughters
Some swim, some float
Washed out of particular seas
Splayed out in front of me
Right in front of me, oh
[Verse 2]
I wanna swim in a beautiful ocean
Feel waves with low emotion
A little change, a little hope
In the crowd, it's a bit lonely
Competitively holy
Race to the knees
[Pre-Chorus]
Crawl out to the finish line
Cross over in the nick of time
Just another sign
Best to keep that body down
[Chorus]
Stay down
Don’t see anything I can do
And now
I stay down
I'm never gonna leave my room
Ooh
Stay down
'Cause I’ve never been this close to you
So now
I stay down
Stay down
[Verse 3]
Some words ring better than others
Limiting the sounds we mutter
Some sing, some don't
A little piece of a beautiful world
Once said and overheard
Once was overheard
[Pre-Chorus]
Fall onto the cutting board
Come around to what may lay in store
In another world
Never keep that body down
[Chorus]
Stay down
Don't see anything I can do
And now
I stay down
I'm never gonna leave my room
Ooh
Stay down
'Cause I've never been this close to you
So now
I stay down
Stay down
[Post-Chorus]
Stay down, stay down, stay down
Stay down, stay down, stay down
Stay down, stay down, stay down
Stay down, stay down, stay down
[Bridge]
It's in the water, it's in the ocean
Every bit of every notion
Never keep that body down
It’s in the water, it’s in the ocean
Every bit of every notion
Never keep that body down
[Pre-Chorus]
Crawl out to the finish line
Cross over in the nick of time
Just another sign
Best to keep that body down
[Chorus]
Stay down
Don't see anything I can do
And now
I stay down
I’m never gonna leave my room
Ooh
Stay down
'Cause I've never been this close to you
So now
I stay down
Stay down
[Post-Chorus]
Stay down, stay down, stay down
Stay down, stay down, stay down
Stay down, stay down, stay down
Stay down, stay down
Way down, way down, stay down
[Outro]
It's in the water, it’s in the ocean (Stay down, stay down)
Every bit of every notion (Way down, way down, stay down)
Never keep that body down
It's in the water, it's in the ocean (Stay down, stay down)
Every bit of every notion (Way down, way down, stay down)
Never keep that body down
