Lyrics

The river was dark… The river was deep
Not like in summer, when the sandy bottom creeps… a slow, lazy creep
Oh no…Oh no… See the current was churning, running so fast
Like the cold fresh water beneath a black dam
And we swam out till it swept us… Out Over Our Heads…

Carried down to the bend… You made for the beach
That little cliff of sand… We struggled so hard to reach
We had to fight the rushing water… Where the other stream meets
Oh yeah… Pushing us out to the dangerous middle
Away from the safety of the silty-soft shallows
Stealing our breath and our heat…We're Over Our Heads…

Help me Babe… It's swirling all around
Feel so heavy Babe… It's pulling me right down
This river wants to take me… and Time knows no end
I never want to leave you Babe… But we're Over Our Heads…
Over Our Heads… …

I didn't know your weakness… You didn't know the power
Of the force pulling us under… the surface of the water… Over Our Heads
