DFollow me down to the waterBm  
Through the trip wires in your Ghead
Through the seven layersD  
Of your holy bed
DWhere there is no one GodBm  
But a series of systemsG  
I wanna be your saviorD  
I wanna be your seasons

Lost my mind over youA  
The only way out is throughG  
Lost my mind over youD

Where the beat goes onG  
And a heatwave blast the Dnight
