How deep can you go down
Before you feel the need to come up for air?
'Cause this ship is sinking
And you're in it
Yeah you're in it

I can't write these words
All insecure and indifferent
I only fear that you are not
Telling me the truth
This isn't competition
Chutes and Ladders just won't do
And I don't think I'm asking a lot
Not asking for the world
No I don't think I'm asking for the world, no
No I don't think I'm asking for the world

It's not important if I
Wake up screaming
Next to you
'Cause you're untouchable
And I can't make this any better

The fluid fills my lungs my tendencies arrest
Questions you ask yourself
Or are you just asleep?
Is that you breathing?
How come you're not breathing?

It's not important if I
Wake up screaming
Next to you
'Cause you're untouchable
And I can't make this any better

You wear that smile so well
What's behind I will never know
And I won't sleep easy tonight
No not tonight
