[Verse 1]
Sick and tired of this world
There's no more air
Trippin' over myself
Goin' nowhere
Waitin', suffocatin', no direction
I took a dive and
[Chorus]
On the way down
I saw you, and you saved me from myself (Oh)
And I won't forget the way you loved me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you
[Verse 2]
I've been wondering why it's only me
Have you always been inside, waiting to breathe?
It's alright, sunlight on my face
I wake up, and yet, I'm alive
'Cause
[Chorus]
On the way down
I saw you, and you saved me from myself (Oh)
And I won't forget the way you loved me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you
[Bridge]
I was so afraid of going under
But now, the weight of the world
Feels like nothing
No, nothing (Down, down, down)
You're all I wanted (Down, down, down)
You're all I needed (Down, down, down)
You're all I wanted
You're all I needed
And I won't forget the way you loved me
All that I wanted, all that I needed now
[Chorus]
Oh, on the way down
I saw you, and you saved me from myself
And I won't forget the way you loved me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through, yeah
But I held on to you (Down, down, down)
Yeah, I held on to you (Down, down, down)
Yeah, I held on to you
[Outro]
Oh, oh-oh
Hey, yeah
On the way down
I saw you, and you saved me from myself
And I won't forget the way you loved me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you
