Coming Up For Air Lyrics

Coming Up For Air lyrics

I’m coming up for air

I feel the world around me

Crumble in despair

Everything feels empty



I’m coming up for air

Cause everything feels thicker

And I wonder if you care

Cause my time is fading quicker



I don’t have the answers

To why you feel so hurt

You can cry on my shoulder

Before it gets worse



Remember in the kitchen when you said goodbye 

I had to grab my shirtsleeve there were tears to hide

Departing my old lifestyle and departing you

Which was more important? Neither felt so true 



I’m coming up for air

Hopefully there’s some left

It never is too easy

To pass all these tests



I don’t have the answers

To why you feel so hurt

You can cry on my shoulder

Before it gets worse



Maybe I just think way too much

About your perfume and your warm touch

I threw away all the letters you wrote

Except for that one last goodbye note



And the air is depleted

There’s nothing left

You took the rest



So I’ll have to start life over

But you’re gone

So you won

So you won
