I like a rock sink, sinking til I hit the bottom

The water is much deeper than I thought

Nothing to swim with, kickin but I keep sinkin

A lesson that no one could've ever taught

 

And I can almost breathe the air

Right beyond my fingertips

I'll turn around and pick up the pieces

One more push and I'll be there

Back where I belong

I'll turn around and pick up the pieces

 

I see the picture, blurry but now it's in focus

A fairy tale I purchased on my own

Well I finally woke up, everything is better

A chance for me to open up and grow

 

And i can almost breathe the air

Right beyond my fingertips

I'll turn around and pick up the pieces

One more push and I'll be there

Back where I belong

I'll turn around and pick up the pieces

 

Turn around and pick up the pieces (x3)

 

Suffocating, sinking further almost everyday

Barely treading water knowing I will not give up

I will not give up (x2)

 

Cause I can almost breathe the air
