a year underwater
and i'm still breathing fine
taking smoke into my lungs
they'll collapse from the inside
i know it's not my problem,
i said things that i'll regret.
got my back against the wall,
let me go, just let me go
a year underwater
and i'm still breathing fine
trace the ridges on my skull
and run your fingers down my spine
and if you come a little closer
i'll forget to breathe at all
twisted hands and bloodshot eyes,
twisting fingers in my sides.
try to stay afloat,
drink to keep from drowning
and if the current pulls you down
i'll keep my head up.
a year underwater
and i'm still breathing fine,
be the pins and needles in my arms
and help me fall asleep tonight
and if you come a little closer
i'll say something that i'll regret
got my back against the wall,
don't let me go, don't let me go.
so will you look me in the eye
and tell me that everything's alright
and if you try to ask me why
i'll turn this car around
but i'd love to watch you drive
if that means i'm coming home with you tonight
i'm on my back now, staring at the ceiling
face first, i fall to the ground
you're so contagious
but when i'm with you, i'm coughing my lungs out.
