Lyrics

I found you on your island warm and dry
you never waded in over waist high
but my home is far from shore and the current runs strong
and I cannot stay in shallow water for long

I?m breathing underwater
I?m not fighting for air
I may drown in the deep
but I don?t care

cuz I love you and you love me
but I cannot make you swim with me

My skin is glistening listening to you lie
beside me on terra firma explaining why
For a few precious moments I felt alive
and I don?t know how but I know I?ll survive

I?m breathing underwater
I?m not fighting for air
I may drown in the deep
but I don?t care

cuz I love you and you love me
but I cannot make you swim with me
swimming in the deep

I know it?s safer in the water you tread
but I?d rather dive in over my head

I?m breathing underwater
