Under moonlight, I close my eyes and I just dive in
Do what I like, my paradise, don't know what time is
I make my way to shore
Like I've been here before
Fade and I fall, under it all, under the covers
Echoing walls, I hear your call, come to the surface
I make my way to shore
Like I've been here before
There's an ocean in between usSo light a candle in the darknessI keep trying to swim towards youBut I'm only treading water

His dark eyes bore into her soul. Rigo leaned forward, and she knew what was about to happen, and time slowed to a viscous, languorous crawl.
He kissed her, and time became infinite.
