[Verse 1]
Blue weight on my chest
Heartbeat counting in the dark
Eyes wide
Can’t see the surface
Just bubbles and distant spark
Lungs burning like a fever
Slow drift
Sinking through the quiet
Thought I’d stay here forever
Thought that I was getting tired
[Pre-Chorus]
Then a pull from underneath me
Like a promise in the deep
Every nerve starts waking
Every fear lets go of me
[Chorus]
First breath back
I come alive on the edge of collapse
Air rushes in
Like a crash
Like a flash
Oh
I was gone
Now I’m snapping right back
First breath back
Chest wide open
I’m breaking the glass
All of the noise turns to silver and glass
Oh
I was gone
Now I’m finally back
[Verse 2]
Sky splits when I break the surface
Salt taste on my shaking lips
Hands claw at the empty water
Then the world tilts
Then it clicks
Cold wind writes on my skin
“Still here
Still here
” like a mantra
Every drop that leaves my lashes
Feels like leaving that disaster
[Pre-Chorus]
Every cell is screaming
Singing
In a single aching gasp
Past and future blinking
In a moment that won’t last
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Hold
Hold
Hold
Now breathe [end whisper]
Color floods in
Frame by frame
Shoreline shapes my name
I was a shadow
Drifting away
Now I’m blazing in the spray
[Chorus]
