Underwater

Hold my breath
I am drowning deep underwater
You're the breath of air that I need
I'm surrounded, pounded
By wave after wave
Of all the people that could never be
You

Could never be
Could never be
Could never be you
Could never be
Could never be
Could never be you

Took the dive to survive
I'm in way too deep
I see the sunlight but too far away
Take a breath screams my chest
But I know it would end me
I won't stop until I see your face

The water's getting lighter
My lungs are getting tighter
My legs are growing tired
But I'm getting close to you
Surrounded by temptation
It's harder being patient
You're my motivation
I'll suffer just a little more

How long can I wait for you
Can you wade through
All the time it takes to get to you

Hear your voice, make my choice
I know I can make it
Even when you seem so out of reach
The silence is deafening
The water's demanding
To take you, my air, from me

Caught up in the undertow
My body's sinking so low
How much further can I go
Am I moving up or going down
Push up through the current
I'll shoulder every burden
It's painful but it's worth it
To take a single breath of you

How long can I wait for you
Can you wade through
All the time it takes to get to you
When I finally make it through
Will you save me
Since I fought so hard to get to you

How long can I wait for you (to get to you)
Can you wade through
All the time it takes to get to you (to get to you)
When I finally make it through (to get to you)
Will you save me
Since I fought so hard to get to you (to get to you)

To get to you, get to you
Could never be you
To get to you, get to you
