As the pendulum swings left to right
A full stop just seems so blissful
All this movement is so dizzying
But you find, in time,
Like oxygen and food and water
Sometimes you just need someone to care that you're alive
But as soon as you open up
Someone else is climbing in
And then you're moving again
And it's goodbye to this peaceful stagnation
And I was coming up for air
And you're content to hold me down
In the darkness that we share
Yeah, it's getting hard to breathe
But maybe you forgot
This feeling is nothing new to me
Because at first it's cool wind on my face
Maybe a trace of smile
I'm feeling things I haven't for a while
You and me can return to the good times
And pretty soon I'm letting go
Instead of holding tight
But I am starting to understand how simple one false move can be
How simple your false move can be
As much as I hate going overboard
I find in time,
Like oxygen and food and water
Sometimes you just need someone to care that you're alive
But as soon as you open up
Someone else is climbing in
And then you're moving again
And it's goodbye to this peaceful stagnation
And I was coming up for air
And you're content to hold me down
In the darkness that we share
Yeah, it's getting hard to breathe
But maybe you forgot
This feeling is nothing new to me
'Cause you're a risk I had to take
And the next one will be the same
You're a risk I had to take
And the next one will be the same
'Cause I was coming up for air
And you're content to hold me down
In the darkness that we share
Yeah, it's getting hard to breathe
But maybe you forgot
This feeling is nothing new to me
