Rise Above

Fallen from grace and into your pool Nothing more than a big fish bowl And we’re circling around the key Of the secret you and I will keep Hoping some day you will see me Please see See me Will not rise above (God, I’m in love) Don’t wanna leave this place (Hoping you will see my face) Surround yourself with ghosts of the past You’re drowning me and I won’t last I suppose you’ll take me down with the ship I’ll never notice as I cling to your lips Descending together on this trip What a trip Kissing lips Will not rise above (Not away from my love) Don’t wanna leave this place (I would never see your face) There is time This is place Let me help You erase Pain of past From your face Will not rise above (God, I’m in love) Don’t wanna leave this place (Hoping you will see my face) Now I know that you’re scared And the pain I cannot bear Take from you to wear on me Stay in this bowl, don’t leave Hold you as you grieve Don’t leave Time to grieve Will not rise above (Even if you deny love) Don’t wanna leave this place (We wear the same face)
