Turn around and pick up the pieces I, like a rock, sink Sinking 'til I hit the bottom The water is much deeper than I thought Nothing to swim with Kicking but I keep sinking A lesson that no one could have ever taught
'Cause I can almost breathe the air Right beyond my fingertips I'll turn around and pick up the pieces One more push and I'll be there Back where I belong I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
I see the picture Blurry but now it's in focus A fairy tale I purchased on my own But I finally woke up Everything is better A chance for me to open up and grow
'Cause I can almost breathe the air Right beyond my fingertips I'll turn around and pick up the pieces One more push and I'll be there Back where I belong, I mean I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
Turn around and pick up the pieces Turn around and pick up the pieces Turn around and pick up the pieces
Suffocating sinking further almost everyday Turn around and pick up the pieces Barely treading water knowing I will not give up I will not give up I will not give up
'Cause I can almost breathe the air Right beyond my fingertips I'll turn around and pick up the pieces One more push and I'll be there Back where I belong I'll turn around and pick up the piece
