You know that feeling when you drown?
When all your weight just drags you down…
When you can’t bear opening your own eyes
Cause the water covers, waves tell you lies.
So I started believing and said all is fine,
There was still that thing on my face. A smile.
Eventually I started running out of air
I didn’t understand, didn’t seem fair
What’s wrong, I tried to ask, but the waves
Tied me down and hushed, “You are saved”.
No, something’s wrong, but I didn’t know what
I tried to look around but my eyes stayed shut.
Eventually I got out, I felt the sun on my skin,
I stepped on land, I realized where I’d been.
I was underwater for such a long time,
I didn’t even remember how bells chimed.
So I’m sorry if I seem different and strange
I still need some time and effort to change.
At then later I met you, you smiled and took my hand,
And I knew, I saw your face before, but not on land.
I saw those eyes that hide stories deep inside,
And of course that smile that always looks so kind
But disappears if asked about the troubles of the past
And suddenly I remembered how it felt, all so fast.
I’m pretty sure you remember that feeling too.
That’s why you think you know me, don’t you?
It’s because we can see it in each other’s eyes:
The water, the waves, fakes smiles, “I’m fine"s.
We don’t talk about it, but we both know this
Being on land after drowning feels like bliss.
