Coming Up For Air

Once again, I dived in, thought I was escaping
Leaving all I've ever had behind for peace of mind
Held my breath for ages, hid myself in cages
Never thought the sea could be this dark, it's filled my heart

Now I'm coming up for air
'Cause the truth is not down there
I believe that someone cares
Enough to light a flare
Now I'm coming up for air

Once again I screwed up, didn't grasp when to stop
Went too deep, too soon, but now I know where to go

Now I'm coming up for air
'Cause the truth is not down there
I believe that someone cares
Enough to light a flare
Now I'm coming up for air

I see ships keep passing by
If I surface will they try
To come back for me
Eventually, will I be home and dry

Now I'm coming up for air
'Cause the truth is not down there
I believe that someone cares
Enough to light a flare
Now I'm coming up for air
