Never Let Me Go

Okay so I got this Idea to write a one shot on the song Never Let Me Go by Florence and the Machine.
Enjoy!

I start to swim. Of course I have fully thought this out. I think about what the bottom of the sea bed looks like. I think of how peaceful the fish must be down there. I think of all the people who have died in shipwrecks and how I will be joining them soon. I think about all of the people that never liked me. And then I think about her, and how you could get lost swimming in her eyes. I start to wade deeper, feeling the freezing cold water on my legs. A thousand miles of water. I swim so far out the shore looks like a not so straight line drawn by a preschooler. I dive down. I keep swimming until my lungs burn. I feel like the water is washing away all of my sins. Never let me go, I imagine saying to her. That is my last thought before all go's dark.

Down below are the actual lyrics:

Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under

And it's peaceful in the deep
'Cause either way you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under

Oh, and it's breaking over me
A thousand miles out to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head

(Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go)

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing over me
And the questions I have for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean deliver me

Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
But now I am under, oh

And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
I found the place to rest my head

(Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go)

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
(So cold and so sweet)
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the questions I have for a sinner like me

But the arms of the ocean deliver me
And it's over and I'm going under

But I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in
Oh, slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet

In the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold
And all this devotion, well, I never knew at all
And the questions I have for a sinner released
In the arms of the ocean deliver me

(Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go)

Deliver me

(Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go)
Never let me go, never let me go)

Deliver me

(Never let me go, never let me go)
Never let me go, never let me go)

Deliver me

Never let me go, never let me go

And it's over
I'm going under
But I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in
Ah, slipping underneath
Wooh, so cold, but so sweet
