[Verse 1] Somedays I feel like myself Then the old me Drags a chair up to my chest Says “remember me?” Every thought a crowded room Talking over me Counting every tiny bruise Calling it a seed [Chorus] I’m in a tsunami in my head Breathing in water Calling it air instead I know I can But my mind says I can’t Like it’s pulling my hands from the edge Grief for the life that I can’t reach Guilt for the things I never did Tsunami in my head Crashing where my courage lives [Verse 2] Life doesn’t land like it should Always one beat late I rehearse a thousand ways I could change this state My mind writes the perfect plan On a fogged-up glass By the time I reach my hand The words have slipped past [Chorus] I’m in a tsunami in my head Breathing in water Calling it air instead I know I can But my mind says I can’t Like it’s pulling my hands from the edge Grief for the life that I can’t reach Guilt for the things I never did Tsunami in my head Crashing where my courage lives [Bridge] Is there a version of me Standing on calm ground? Waving from the shoreline Saying “you won’t always drown” (oh) I’m not what I’ve lost Not what I couldn’t give I’m more than this storm If I can just outlive [Chorus] This tsunami in my head Breathing in water Calling it air instead I know I can Even when I say I can’t I’m learning to loosen its grip Grief for the days that never came Grace for the soul that still exists Tsunami in my head I rise a little higher in it
