I hear the birds; I hear them singing from afar
I feel the earth, and yet you pull me towards the shore
For a fool's rebirth, but I've been down that way before,
And the life you give is just another way to lose it all

(Chorus 1)
If I dive, can you promise that I'll resurface?
Should I rise, will I be the right side up?
Well, I have seen the oceanic furnace
And the breathing's always easier on the surface

I'm on the edge, on the edge of my relief
No waves in sight, but they flourish underneath
So take my word; my word won't change the status quo
'Cause saying yes is just another way of saying no

(Chorus 1)

(Bridge)
Don't make me go
I don't want to see those tides again
I've lost control
Tell me please
Which is land and which is sea?

(Chorus 2)
So if I've dived, when will I resurface?
When I rise, will I be the right way up?
It's hard to see the reason I deserve this
But I hear the breathing's easy
Yeah, they say the breathing's easy
Yeah, the breathing's always easy
On the surface
