The Water's Edge

You took a big breath ‘fore you went down
It won’t last long, nonononono
But good god, it’s good to stay down
You look back up at the surface now
There’s a storm above, but you stay so still
Good god, it’s good to stay down
When your blood is blue and you come up with a gasp
You’ve drifted far from shore
Even though the water’s edge is far away from here
You know it’ll be alright
You know it’ll be just fine
There’s seagulls circling above
Now you’ve got water in your brain
If you turn fast it’ll slosh around
Good god, you have to get it out
You start to swim with your head held high
Your limbs are stiff cuz you’ve been so still
Good god, it’s good to go back
You took a big breath ‘fore you went down
It won’t last long, nonononono
But good god, it’s good to stay down
