Oh child I know it's hard to be patient
When you're waiting for a glimpse of the sun in November
But you know that it's a big bad world out there and I'm not ready to let you go
So won't you sit here by the fire with me a little longer?
While I take your soul and throw it down below the deep ocean of whispers
Under your basement door
Cause I'm just trying to make sense of all these things I've never felt before
As the ceiling's bowing down to the floor
When I was a boy my father showed me these dark waters
It's a day that I will always remember
So won't you let me hold you safe in my arms?
And I'll keep you close behind the walls
No noise
No harm
Cause there are so many reasons that I can find to stay right under the covers
So why do you need to venture away
When you've got everything that you've wanted and needed here?
But I know you've gotta be bold and venture down alone
Below the deep ocean of whispers in your basement door
Yeah you've gotta be bold and venture down
Below the deep ocean of whispers under your basement door
Cause you're just trying to make sense of all these things you've never seen before
As the ceiling's bowing down to the floor
So take my words and do with them what you please
Just don't tell me I didn't warn you
Just don't tell me I didn't warn you of the seas
