Deep Water (Lyrics + Song)

[Intro]
You taught me how to swim, how to swim, how to swim
And now I’m always in, always in, always in

[Verse 1]
I used to hang out by the shallow side
Nothing could pull me toward the tide
The moon was nothing but a hanging ball
And in your eyes I saw the biggest stars

I always love it when your hair is black
I never thought we could go back
The water’s deeper when your by the tide
I guessed I got out of the shallow side

You always like it when I’m down below
I should have learned to swim as a child
I never thought I’d be a Marco
Sailing the seas to wash up on the shore

Eric the Red would probably turn green
If he held is breath as long as you make me…
I’d have to be a Zeus or Hercules
To do the things you always ask of me

[Chorus]
I’m in deep water when between your thighs, yeah (4x)

[Verse 2]
You want my lips when I come up for air
You don’t do much but play with my hair
You sound like you’re the one drowning, girl
But I’m the one inhaling liquids here

[Chorus]
I’m in deep water when between your thighs, yeah (4x)

[Bridge)
I didn’t know the water was this deep
Had I know I would’ve just, um, dipped my feet
At least the temperature is never cold
You’re the only one I wanna to know

[Chorus]
I’m in deep water when between your thighs, yeah (4x)

[Outro]
You taught me how to swim, how to swim, how to swim
And now I’m always in, always in, always in (2x)
Deep water (3x)
With somebody
With somebody
With somebody
With somebody
That’s not you

Remember This (Lyrics + Song)

For You

[Verse 1]
I knew I loved you
Before I even met you
That’s a song for some
But for us … it’s truth

The world’s so quiet
When I am with you
And I see angels blushing
When I hold you

You’re beyond a goddess
I swear that’s true
And if you need me
I will always come through

[Chorus 1]
Remember this
Remember this
Remember this
When you’re feeling it

Remember this
Remember this
Remember this
When you’re feeling sick

[Verse 2]
There’s not a moment
When I don’t miss you
Sometimes we kiss so long
Our faces turn blue

I hope our kids
Understand what we went through
And recognize that
I’ve always loved you

[Chorus 2]
Remember this
Remember this
Remember this
When you’re feeling pissed

Remember this
Remember this
Remember this
When I’m not there to sing it

[Verse 3]
I tried to write a song
Not about you
But you’re so wonderful
I can’t stop talkin’ ‘bout you

Everyone is probably
Sick of me and you
But they’re in trouble
’cause I haven’t even gone through

Still got four hundred
More melodies about you
And after that I’ll find another way
To show I love you (2x)

[Chorus 3]
So:

Remember this
Remember this
Remember this
When you’re feeling it

Remember this
Remember this
Remember this
When you’re feeling sick

Remember this
Remember this
Remember this
When you’re feeling pissed

Remember this
Remember this
Remember this
When I’m not there to sing it

Sublimation

By Benjamin Grossman and Cassa Bassa

I lost the grip of my writing pen
                                                the ink frozen in-between the flow 
                                                                                                      of words and broken nib.

As if making every stroke 
                                        on water 
                                                       letters now convert to vapor
vanishing before forming any solid state.


I burn lavender incense up to the heavens
offering fragments         of laden thoughts 
denial               sadness            resentment 
                                                                   cast 
                                                                  down 
                                                                   like 
                                                            Autumn rain.

I wish to be a fixed matter
an existence tightly packed together

but    my    particles    keep     spreading 
                                                                 in
                       different 
directions
                deaf
                  to
                 all
               prayers.


I found no escape on the verge of my final break.


Perhaps if I hibernate long enough
Spring will come with the promising sun
I WILL GROW FROM THIS INEXCUSABLE PAIN.

It's always a pleasure to write with a poet as knowledgeable and talented as her, and I really enjoy this poem for what it stands for beyond the words.

Oceans Aren’t Wet (Song + Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
Every time I see your face
Makes me wanna touch your waist
Even if it’s just a taste
It doesn’t go to waste

You’re like the juice of grapes
’cept I can drink away
And always feel okay
By the end of the day

Never thought it’d get this way
But it’s getting harder, babe
To live without you, yeah
For another day

[Chorus]
I hope you know how I feel
When you unpeel
All that covers up
Your sex appeal

I hope you know how you’ll feel
When I get near
All that hides beneath
That attire you wear

[Verse 2]
They say oceans are wet
But that’s not really fair
Being next to you
I know nothing compares

And once I go down
I never come up for air
I’d rather drown by your side
Than leave you unsatisfied

[Chorus x2]
I hope you know how I feel
When you unpeel
All that covers up
Your sex appeal

I hope you know how you’ll feel
When I get near
All that hides beneath
That attire you wear

Best Friend (Lyrics + Songs)

[Verse 1]
I wanna show you what you do in my dreams
There’s nothing better than you over me
I could’ve married you yesterday
But you’re married in another way

I shouldn’t tell you what I’m feeling inside
I’m never smiling by the end of the night

[Chorus 1]
Cause you’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
Just my best, best, best, best, best, best friend

But I wanna
Yes, I do
But I wanna
With you

[Verse 2]
She kinda reminds me of “Jessie’s Girl”
Her accent even has the same damn swirl
It kinda feels like we’re from different worlds
I hope she realizes that I’m from this Earth

[Chorus 2]
Cause I wanna
Yes, I do
Cause I wanna
With you

But you’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
Just my best, best, best, best, best, best friend

[Bridge]
I kinda know that we are meant to be
But you keep looking here and there
And far away from me
And far away from me

[Chorus 3]
Cause you’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
Just my best, best, best, best, best, best friend

But I wanna
Yes, I do
But I wanna
With you (2x)

[Chorus 4]
So let’s not just stay best, best, best, best, best, best friends
Best, best, best, best, best, best friends
We’re not best, best, best, best, best, best friends
We’re not best, best, best, best, best, best friends

I don’t wanna
With you
I don’t wanna
That’s the truth (2x)
