Breathing Underwater lyrics
by Tom Waits
[Refrain]
I'm the blade
You're the knife
I'm the weight
You're the kite
[Verse 1]
They were right, when they said
We were breathing underwater
Out of place, all the time
In a world that wasn't mine
To take
I'll wait
[Chorus]
Is this my life? (Aaah)
Am I breathing, underwater?
Is this my life? (Aaah)
Am I breathing, underwater?
[Post-Chorus]
Oooh (4x)
[Refrain]
I'm the blade
You're the knife
I'm the weight
You're the kite
[Verse 2]
They were right, when they said
We should never meet our heroes
When they bow, at their feet
In the end, it wasn't me
[Chorus]
Is this my life? (Aaah)
Am I breathing, underwater?
Is this my life? (Aaah)
Am I breathing, underwater?
[Post-Chorus]
Oooh (4x)
[Bridge]
Nights are days
We'll beat a path through the mirrored maze
I can see the end, aaah
But it hasn't happened yet
I can see the end, aaah
But it hasn't happened yet
[Chorus]
Is this my life? (Aaah)
Am I breathing, underwater?
Is this my life? (Aaah)
Am I breathing, underwater?
[Outro]
Am I breathing underwater?
Am I breathing underwater?
