Verse 1:

          
Everyone it se


ems,
            
has somewhere 

    
to go.

           
And the faster

             
 the world spi


ns,
            
the shorter th

              
e lights will 

 
glow.

           
And I'm swimmi

             
ng in the nigh


t.
            
chasing down t

     
he moon.

           
The deeper in 

      
the water
            
the more I lon

       
g for you

Chorus 1:

            
And most of wh

              
at you see my 

           
dear is purely

 for show
            
because not ev

              
erything that 

            
goes around co

     
mes back aroun

d you know

            
Holding on too

              
 long is just 

     
a fear of lett

ing go,
            
because not ev

              
erything that 

            
goes around co

One thing that
