This is the 2nd song from Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill, Grouper’s 2008 album.
The song is about loving someone and leaving your comfort zone. She’d rather sleep forever and sink into the ocean instead of falling in love but she’s carrying on, she’s getting through it.
Heavy Water / I’d Rather Be Sleeping Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This feeling doesn't go away
I feel it moving through me
I want the love I felt inside
And wanna feel the water move me
[Chorus]
On dreams I'm moving through heavy water
The love is enormous, it's lifting me up
I'd rather be sleeping
I'd rather fall into tidal waves
Right where the deepest currents fall
[Verse 2]
I opened a mirror up
And saw a true love
I thought it could manage me softly
The water rising up over my head
[Chorus]
On dreams I'm moving through heavy water
The love is enormous, it's lifting me up
I'd rather be sleeping
I'd rather fall into tidal waves
Right where the deepest currents fall
[Chorus]
On dreams I'm moving through heavy water
The love is enormous, is lifting me up
I'd rather be sleeping
I'd rather fall into tidal waves
Right where the deepest currents fall
