Somewhere life is a song

Closing my eyes

So I can’t see my own tears

Feel the salt

Welling up it stings

Try to swallow

Breathe in so deep

That I can’t take in any more air

As I gasp in suffocation

That deep breath halts the despair

And I want to come up for air

I want to come up to something there

Don’t want to be swimming

In this sea anymore

I want to be strong

Find somewhere I belong

Somewhere life is a song

I wake and my hands are tense

From throwing fists in my sleep

And I grit my teeth through another day

Trying not to weep

Where is that music to my ears?

That I never hear

All these years someone told me

It will get better but for me it’s all fear

Waiting to be set free

And I want to come up for air

I want to come up to something there

Don’t want to be swimming

In this sea anymore

I want to be strong

Find somewhere I belong

Somewhere life is a song

Another day gone by

Where I spent most of it wondering why

Frustrated trying to learn

Yet not a bit of it helps

Because I know it’s for you that I yearn

Can’t let you go and you can’t let me in

So I sit in the middle

Wearing into something thin

And I want to come up for air

I want to come up to something there

Don’t want to be swimming

In this sea anymore

I want to be strong

Find somewhere I belong

Somewhere life is a song
