Coming Up for Air Songtext
von Babel Fish

Once again, I dived in
Thought I was escaping
Leaving all I′ve ever had behind
For peace of mind

Held my breath for ages
Hid myself in cages
Never thought the sea could be this dark
It's filled my heart

Now I′m coming up for air
'Cause the truth is not down there
I believe that someone cares
Enough to light a flare
Now I'm coming up for air

Once again I screwed up
Didn′t grasp when to stop
Went to deep, too soon, but now I know
Where to go


Now I′m coming up for air
'Cause the truth is not down there
I believe that someone cares
Enough ro light a flare
Now I′m coming up for air

I see ships keep passing by
If I surface will they try
To come back for me
Eventually, will I be home and dry

Now I'm coming up for air
′Cause the truth is not down there
I believe that someone cares
Enough to light a flare
There's a lifesaver out there
I′m relying on a prayer
I believe that someone cares
Enough to light a flare
Now I'm coming up for air
