"I would say that it's clear as day; you were a crybaby," you said, chuckling 
There's no way, you can't make me laugh. Even this - you won't see me laughing. 

Could it be, just a maybe, that, in the end, it [bad word] back to some... 
Words I said? Or's it in my head? ...Well, either way, now my brain is exhausted. 

Sooner or later, will I not be saved? And my fears, banished to their graves? 
Like you'd wring out a dirty rag, just the same's happened to my courage 

But, even so, I've been petrified, shaking such I can hardly walk straight 
Stumbling around as I always have, now I fall... 

That I would drown to death, I was so very scared; I have no gills to breathe, I would die then and there, 
So when you came along and sent a ripple out, I found it made me quake, and so I floundered, desperate for escape... 

Somehow, yes, we would have [bad word]  not a word, saying both our "sorry"s 
"This'll do, now I'm satisfied"; let's go ahead and make that our reason 

One step, and I step again; and every time I grow distant from you, 
Floating up like bubbles of air, two smiling faces I faintly notice 

Yes, I guess I'll give you aid; there's [bad word] away, so I'll offer to you my breath, too 
Yes, a meeting kiss for two - I want it, I miss you. And working with both our breaths... 

Now, it's time to dive in deep, to drink it down in heaps, all those sorrows that we've encountered 
Now, it's time to hold your breath, and while we're at it, time for us both will stop as like death... 

And if we overflow, if we can bear no more, I'll be the one who's near to dry away your tears 
So when I find you blue, can I do this for you? I might get waterlogged, but I don't mind at all... 

I'm taking in the salt, it's quite a bitter treat, and need I not repeat, I have a taste for sweets 
That's why I ask, thereof, please offer your sweet love, I want it once again, I want so much for you to wake me up...
