lyrics

It's like I'm breathing underwater
I'm leaving the dry land behind
doing what was always impossible to do

I'm breathing underwater
seeing things differently now
doing what I always knew I could do

sometimes there's a space between
the inside and the out of me
sometimes there's a face that doesn't show

somehow I've learned over time
that half of the things in my mind
have no bearing on the truth

there's always a choice in front of me
to be the man that I want to be
or the one that I"d rather ignore

seems I've got to lose my self
just to be found again
step from the dark into the sun

It's like I'm breathing underwater
I'm leaving the dry land behind
doing what was always impossible to do

I'm breathing underwater
seeing things differently now
doing what I always knew I could do

I swear I've stepped in this river before
I remember the feel of the sand on the shore
I remember now how I fought it the last time
And I don't understand why it only now crosses my mind
that the current will take me just where I should be
and struggle will only prolong the agony

It's like I'm breathing underwater
I'm leaving the dry land behind
doing what was always impossible to do

I'm breathing underwater
seeing things differently now
doing what I always knew I could do
