  • I wish I was you, a piece of gold at the bottom of the blue
    Too heavy to swim, but too beautiful to lose
    Holding my breath, diving down to give you air
    I never knew the colors that surround you

    (Look up, look up)
    Holding on forever to keep you
    (Look up, look up)
    Keep you from slipping too deep
    (Look up, look up)
    If you want to escape, you don't need to
    (Look up, look up)
    Just look for me

    I'm taking in water for you, my love (just look for me)
    Pulling you out, I'll take the blue away (just look for me)
    I'm taking water, my brother, remember (just look for me)
    I'm taking water for you (just look for)

    You picked up the light, the spectrum begged to turn to white
    Too bright to be seen, I wish that beautiful boy was me
    Never alone, the sky's a different shade of brave
    Making you glow, the colors dance around you

    (Look up, look up)
    Holding on forever to keep you
    (Look up, look up)
    Keep you from slipping too deep
    (Look up, look up)
    If you want to escape, you don't need to
    (Look up, look up)
    Just look for me

    I'm taking in water for you, my love (just look for me)
    Pulling you out, I'll take the blue away (just look for me)
    I'm taking water, my brother, remember (just look for me)
    I'm taking water for you (just look for)

    Treasures are lost on the bed
    And buried down in your soul
    Buried down in your soul

    (Look up, look up)
    Holding on forever to keep you
    (Look up, look up)
    Keep you from slipping too deep
    (Look up, look up)
    If you want to escape, you don't need to
    (Look up, look up)
    Just look for me

    I'm taking in water for you, my love (just look for me)
    Pulling you out, I'll take the blue away (just look for me)
    I'm taking water, my brother, remember (just look for me)
    I'm taking water for you (just look for me)

    Ooh, ooh (just look for me)
    Ooh, ooh (just look for me)
    Ooh, ooh (just look for me)
    Ooh, ooh (just look for) Writer/s: Jessica Ware, Thomas Edward Percy Hull
