Song Lyrics

A camera captures images of a person on a bridge
He is only standing there but something doesn't seem quite right
He paces back and forth awhile as if deciding what to do
He takes his backpack and his jacket off and climbs over the railing

And then he falls into the sea
He falls into the ocean
He falls into the deep
He falls into the deep

The photographer is spellbound, he can't believe what he has seen
He rewinds the tape and plays again the moment of the fall
He wants to look away but it seems strangely beautiful
The man was only young, could he have saved him if he tried

Or was he meant to fall into the sea
Just fall into the ocean
Just fall into the deep
Just fall into the deep

The person takes some photographs of the person on a bridge
He is only standing there for a moment or two more
He is remembering what he looked like or maybe who he was
And when it finally comes, he knows exactly what to do

He's meant to fall into the sea
Be dragged down by the current
Be dragged down deep beneath
Be dragged down deep beneath
Just fall into the sea
Just fall into the ocean
Just fall into the deep
Just fall into the deep
Just fall into the sea
Be dragged down by the current
Be dragged down deep beneath
Be dragged down deep beneath

I am the photographer
