"Breathing Underwater"

I found you on your island warm and dry
You never waded in over waist high
But my home is far from shore and the current runs strong
and I cannot stay in shallow water for long

I’m breathing underwater
I’m not fighting for air
I may drown in the deep
but I don’t care
cuz I love you and you love me
but I cannot make you swim with me

My skin is glistening listening to you lie
beside me on terra firma explaining why
For a few precious moments I felt alive
and I don’t know how but I know I’ll survive

I’m breathing underwater
I’m not fighting for air
I may drown in the deep
but I don’t care
cuz I love you and you love me
but I cannot make you swim with me, swimming in the deep

I know it’s safer in the water you tread
but I’d rather dive in over my head

cuz I’m breathing underwater
