Breathing Underwater

from Splendid Isolation by Henry Bateman

/

lyrics

Like a fist on the door when I’m half asleep
Like a tidal wave humming through the trees
This is not how my life is supposed to be

Breathing underwater
I’m pushing back the truth
I’m hiding things from you

Guess my love for anyone is like a forest floor
Just one eye through the letterbox when she’s at my door
In my home I can’t pretend I feel like I did before

Breathing underwater
I’m pushing back the truth
Breathing underwater

Look at what I have to lose
To protect myself from you

I will stand on your shore
So we can say we tried
But it your eyes
There’s no compromise
And we’re stuck before the dawn
