Lyrics At The Bottom Of The Sea - The Thermals

At The Bottom Of The Sea

The air isn’t thin
The air isn’t thick
The air isn’t anything
It doesn’t exist
It’s not what we need
At the bottom of the sea
The light is grey
The light is rare
It barely touches us
It’s barely there
The need
At the bottom of the sea
And now I’m barely there
For you
I’m barely there
For you
I will never come up
I will never compare
Wind to the sand
Water to air
It’s not what I want
It’s what I need
The love is near
I hear it speak
It’s in my sight
But just out of reach
It slips from my hand
Just like it did on the land
And now I’m barely there
For you
I’m barely there
For you
I’ll never come up
I will never compare
Wind to the sand
Water to air
It’s not what I want
It’s what I need
For the air
For the light
For the love
Is barely there
For me
At the bottom of the sea
For the air
For the light
For the love
Is barely there
For me
At the bottom of the sea
Oh
For the air
For the light
For the love
It’s not what I want
It’s what I need
