I was tredding water,
Though my hands and feet were frozen stiff
And the warning bells were ringing deep inside
I was waiting for my lips to shape the words,
"What if all ends here?"
But I breathe, and I breathe, and I breathe
(Breathe...breathe...breathe...breathe...)
And I breathe, and I breathe, and I breathe
For every breath that caught me,
I was dreaming of the swim, just one more length
Before the crushing wave rolls, and broke
In name of panic smothered every word I spoke
And I breathe, and I breathe, and I breathe
(Breathe...breathe...breathe...breathe...)
And I breathe, and I breathe, and I breathe
(Breathe...breathe...breathe...breathe...)
And I breathe, and I breathe, and I breathe
