lyrics

If you spend your whole life underwater
the fresh air might burn your lungs
If you spend all your time treading water
your legs might forget how to run

My head's above the water now
My head's above the water now
and I'm breathing fine
My head's above the water now
My head's above the water now
so why do I still feel like I'm drowning

There is comfort
in heavy lungs
And it feels safe down here
but I know I can't stay

How did I let it get this bad
How did I sink this far
I'm a long ways from shore
(I'm breathing fine)
but I'll keep swimming on
(I'm breathing fine)
