Underwater

Somewhere in the darkness

Opened up a door that’s

Leading to a staircase

Never thought I’d make it

Never thought I’d say that

It was never easy

But now I get that feeling

And it's leading through the night

Moving through a dark place

Breathing underwater

You told me when it’s easy

It’s never been alive

Moving through a dark place

Breathing underwater

Sometimes I try my best then

I don’t want to try again

I throw it all away now

Your words are resonating

But I can’t comprehend them

They're floating through an airless space

But now I get that feeling

And it's leading through the night

Moving through a dark place

Breathing underwater

You told me when it’s easy

It’s never been alive

Somewhere in the distance

A light that’s always shining

Now I get that feeling

And it's leading through the night

Moving through a dark place

Breathing underwater

Speaking to my daughter

That light is in her eyes

Somewhere in the distance

A light that's always shining

The sun is shining on my home

And all the birds are singing

They took the tree down long ago

And now I’m speaking to my daughter

And that light is in her eyes

Moving through a dark place

Breathing underwater

You told me when it’s easy

It’s never been alive

Somewhere in the distance

A light that’s always shining
