[Verse 1] Beneath the surface I have found true despair As my lungs fill with water and I gasp out for air The life in my eyes begins to fade While my inner transgressions remain unpaid I can’t feel my own skin Drowning in the undertow I’ll never make it out alive I need you to revive me
[Chorus] I can’t breathe The weight of the world is pulling me under Keep my head above water So I can see you again The waves crash upon me Over and over, over and over And I’m drowning in the sunset baby Will you revive me [Verse 2] My fate is one that only I will know I feel the wrath of all that lies below I think a shark just swam right by my leg When will you realize that this is the end
[Bridge] On a ship lost at sea This storm is headed for me In an ocean of my fears Not a single life jacket here
[Verse 3] I’ve fallen off the edge I never learned how to swim I kick and I scream Caught in the rip tide Deeper and deeper I need a lifeguard or something I need them here
[Breakdown] Contact the coast guard No, seriously, help I’m not that buoyant I need you to revive me
[Chorus]
[Outro] Grab your partner and gather ‘round We’re about to go downtown This is how we do it in Tennessee Watch carefully and play that cowbell Yeehaw! (Needs more cowbell) Red solo cups and chewing tobacco
