Coming up for Air - David Benoit

Rent a flat in the city, it never ends I need a change It's all the same Woke up today and I'm feeling all the weight Of my yesterdays Pulsing in my brain All alone in a hotel bed Could get drunk instead Either white or red I run a bath and I'm slipping down 'til I don't hear a sound I've been under for so long, got water in my lungs (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I've been under for so long, thank god that I'm still young I'm finally coming up for air I'm coming up for air I'm finally coming up for air I'm coming up for air I've been feeling stupid thinking that getting shot by Cupid could change me It's amazing Simple delusion, persistent illusion Driving me crazy Who can blame me? I've been under for so long, the water in my lungs (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I've been under for so long, thank god that I'm still young I'm finally coming up for air I'm coming up for air I'm finally coming up for air I'm coming up for air (Feels like forever Since my body and mind felt right together) I've been under for so long (Feels like forever Since my body and mind felt right together) I've been under for so long I've been under for so long (Feels like forever Since my body and mind felt right together) Got water in my lungs I'm finally coming up for air I'm coming up for air I'm finally coming up for air I'm coming up for air

How long can you wait To breathe deep? How long can you stay Underneath? It's hard to believe But I know your heart still beats Rise on up, baby Don't need eyes to see It ain't over love This I swear We're coming up for air It ain't over yet The light's right here And we're coming up for air End of the line There's still time Listen to me, child You're alive It's hard to believe But I know your heart still beats Rise on up, baby Don't need eyes to see It ain't over love This I swear We're coming up for air It ain't over yet The light's right here And we're coming up for air

I'm no good for you I'm not what you need You've made it very clear Though I disagree Enough to let you go To let you drift away 'Cause once you navigate these troubled waters I believe that someday you'll return And I will still be here When you come up for air Do what you gotta do I'll wait for you to come up for air 'Cause in this whole wide world There's no one else for me So while you search the seas for answers I will still be waiting here Make sure you dive down deep Because if you do Even though it takes a thousand lifetimes My love, I know you're finally gonna see the truth and you'll return And I will still be here When you come up for air Do what you gotta do I'll wait for you to come up for air And even if this really is the end I'm sure I'll be alone until I'm dead 'Cause no one else will ever quite compare To them it wouldn't be fair To let you with somebody new And all I did was think of you If you're my Jack then I'm your Rose And I promise I'll never ever let go And I'll still be here When you come up for air Do what you gotta do I'll wait for you to come up for air Come up for air Come up for air To come up for air Come up for air Come up for air To come up for air

(Better back down 'cause I'm coming for you) (Better back down 'cause I'm coming for you) And I recall the past real vaguely I remember everything they'd say Maybe thought that I was crazy Thinking that one day they'd see my name Loved being a loner, always moving closer Know exactly what I wanted to have Fear of growing older, chip all on my shoulder Told myself I'm never looking back And now I'm cold and dissonant I'm losing my innocence And you don't know my intent And now you better back down 'cause I'm coming for you Better back down 'cause I'm coming for you Better back down 'cause I'm coming for you Better back down 'cause I'm coming for you (You better back down) Better back down 'cause I'm coming for you Better back down 'cause I'm coming for you Better back down 'cause I'm coming for you Better back down 'cause I'm coming for you I'm sick of feeling like a no-one lately I'm sick of always living in the past I'm sick of feeling like I just keep chasing But that'll never be that fast Just leave me alone, I'll do it on my own And I will let them know when the lights shine bright Look pale as a ghost to all those opposed I'm coming here to show how to live life right And now I'm cold and dissonant I'm losing my innocence And you don't know my intend And now you better back down 'cause I'm coming for you Better back down 'cause I'm coming for you Better back down 'cause I'm coming for you Better back down 'cause I'm coming for you
