cutting room floor - other oceans lyrics

dreamed last night i tried to hide you
from the man who claimed to own you
somehow he would always find you
couldn’t stop him whaling on you
tried to shield you with my body
but i’m just as soft as you are
older yeah but i’ve been broken
too by those who claimed to love me

i remember you from somewhere
worlds behind me they still find me

i was twelve years old the first time
someone put his hands on me
numb confused and cold i watched him
in the mirror far away
i didn’t think of no so i said yes
i guess that’s what i get
sometimes the safest thing is to pretend
you want it anyway

drown it out in pills and liquor
being sick just made me sicker
watched my body sabotage me
sink or swim here in the water
do you remember which way is up
do you remember which way is up
do you remember which way is up

i don’t believe in safe sp+ces
i don’t believe safety exists
i’ve had my mind battle my body
got the tally marks to show it
still i want to hold on to you
bring you somewhere warm and say
i see you i believe you
i can’t tell you it will be ok
but you’re welcome in my f+cked+up house
as long as you feel you belong
can’t promise you anything
but i can long for what you long for
i can long for what you long for

used to dream of other oceans
full of fish who [?] my colours
but i was just treading water
[?] ten years later

do you remember which way is up
do you remember which way is up
do you remember which way is up
they tell you it gets better
and it’s true for me at least in some ways
but i’m still afraid my friends will die
i know i’ll lose them someday
can’t tell you it’s worth staying alive
’cause i don’t know your pain
but i know mine and see it in you
i’ll stay in this nightmare with you
signaling from other oceans
if you swim i just might reach you
