Surface Envy

  • Throw me a rope, give me a leg
    I haven't seen daylight in what must be day
    I took the long way down, lost track of myself
    Confidence fell down the steepest of slopes
    I'll row you an ocean, I could do more
    I feel so much stronger, now that you're here
    We've got so much to do, let me make that clear

    We win, we lose, only together do we break the rules
    We win, we lose, only together do we make the rules

    I'm breaking the surface, tasting the air
    I'm reaching for things like never before
    The anchor is heavy, I can't hold the weight
    The guilt holds me down, won't let me be myself
    Suck it all in, suck it all up
    Let go of thoughts holding me back
    I'll push twice as hard towards it you see
    And the past falls away to the bottom of the deep

    When we leave say goodbye to your old way of life
    I can breathe way up high now it's our turn to fly Writer/s: CARRIE RACHEL BROWNSTEIN, CORIN LISA TUCKER, JANET LEE WEISS
