Briston Maroney – Bottom of the Ocean Lyrics

Bottom of the Ocean Lyrics by Briston Maroney

She rolled over my cold shoulders, said, “Where should we start?”
I said, “Frankly, I found lately that’s the hardest part”
Maybe that’s why I’ve been drawn to those with broken hearts
This cannot be good for me

I’ve been thinking about drinking, but I know
Way too selfish to let go of self-control
Pack my bags and head out for the golden coast
Somewhere warm where nobody has to know, but
I’m falling apart and I know it
Too much of my pride left to show it

I’m motionless going through the motions
Spent all of my time simply hoping
Old folks at the bottom of the ocean
Old folks at the bottom of the ocean

We were getting academic on our Friday nights
Lighting flames that we would hope would burn right through the sky
Scared of everything and nothing at the same damn time
Fear was my only enemy

I’ve been thinking about breathing again
Calling up some of my family friends
Get close enough to try and let someone in
Hit the lights and fall back into my bed ’cause
I’m falling apart and I know it
Too much of my pride left to show it

I’m motionless going through the motions
Spent all of my time simply hoping
Old folks at the bottom of the ocean
Old folks at the bottom of the ocean

I’m motionless going through the motions
Spent all of my time simply hoping
I’m falling apart and I know it
Too much of my pride left to show it
Old folks at of bottom of the ocean
Old folks at of bottom of the ocean
