Breathing Underwater Songtext
von Mike Mains & The Branches

In the mornin′ over coffee
Threw my heart on the table
Told you what I've done in the dark
You felt far away

I was gonna be your shelter
Held you while you fell asleep
We were in the back of my car
Before you were far away

Now that you′ve seen the darkness in me
Won't you please, please

Take me deep into your river
Sugar, let me soak until I'm clean
Set my dirty lungs on fire
I surrender to your mystery
Breathin′ underwater
(We are) Breathin′ underwater


Now my brain is in the vice grip
He's takin′ lots o' notes
Tellin′ me I'm making progress
I broke everything

I′m a zombie on the sidewalk
I stumble into strangers
Thinkin' 'bout kissin′ the traffic
God, it′d be so quick

Spiders crawl in my brain
I'm feelin′ so far away
It's strange

Take me deep into your river
Sugar, let me soak until I′m clean
Set my dirty lungs on fire
I surrender to your mystery
Breathin' underwater
(We are) Breathin′ underwater
Breathin' underwater
(We are) Breathin' underwater


We are a shattered vase, and I let us break
I′m standin′ with roses
I am your worst mistake, you are my everything
I'm standin′ with roses in the rain
Screamin' out your name

Take me deep into your river
Sugar, let me soak until I′m clean
Set my dirty lungs on fire
I surrender to your mystery
I'm breathin′ underwater

I'm standin' with roses in the rain
I′m standin′ with roses in the rain
I'm standin′ with roses in the rain
Oh
I'm standin′ with roses in the rain
I'm standin′ with roses in the rain
I'm standin' with roses in the rain
Oh
