I want to explore the deep ocean sea with you
our parents never went this deep underwater
they were the ones who put those
floaty things twenty feet from the shore
we could be the ones who pop those floaty things
we would need oxygen tanks
as we ventured deeper underwater
put nitrous oxide in yours as a joke
even though you wouldn’t think it was funny
but if you just relax I think you’d still enjoy yourself
we’d get back to the shore and you’d yell at me
put my head underwater for revenge
I’d smile as I choked on salt water
then feeling more alive than ever
we’d make love on the beach.
