Breathing Underwater
from The Given by Colin Vearncombe
lyrics
It's the silence makes you crazy
Find the action, mine the thrill
I know you will
Amusing smiles, familiar faces
The perfect fiction, the easy pill
I know you will, 'cause I know you
Each ick of your heartbeat takes you further from the point
You make it easy on yourself
Life could be so wonderful
Like loving in the everafter
Breathing Underwater
Life should be so wonderful
Like moving in the up and outward
Breathing Underwater
And you live your life as strangers
To yourselves, your aching souls
The empty holes
Drink to forget you just remember
You have debts no honest man could ever get
Find the action, mine the thrill
I know you will
Amusing smiles, familiar faces
The perfect fiction, the easy pill
I know you will, 'cause I know you
Each ick of your heartbeat takes you further from the point
You make it easy on yourself
Life could be so wonderful
Like loving in the everafter
Breathing Underwater
Life should be so wonderful
Like moving in the up and outward
Breathing Underwater
And you live your life as strangers
To yourselves, your aching souls
The empty holes
Drink to forget you just remember
You have debts no honest man could ever get
