[Verse 1] First step off the shore Salt on my lips Sand slips from my toes Then the noise all drifts I open my mouth Expecting the burn But the water feels warm Like it’s waiting its turn [Chorus] What if I could breathe under water Fill my lungs with a different sky Would I find a world that’s quieter Or just another place to hide If I could breathe under water Talk in bubbles Take my time Would I learn the names of every current Or finally learn mine [Verse 2] Old ship on its side Teeth of rust Glass eyes of a statue Grown over with trust Fish in slow circles Gold Then green Like moving stained glass In a drowned-out dream [Chorus] What if I could breathe under water Fill my lungs with a different sky Would I find a world that’s quieter Or just another place to hide If I could breathe under water Talk in bubbles Take my time Would I learn the names of every current Or finally learn mine
