Gills and Tails

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I looked at my reflection in the water Thought, "What an unlikely pair" Closed my eyes, held my breath, plummeted down, down, down And anchored myself there [Pre-Chorus] Can't tell how long I've been In the company of gills and tails I think I feel my skin Growing scales [Chorus] Can I come up for air? (Can I come up? Can I come up?) Can I come up for air? (Can I come up? Can I come up?) Can I come up for air? (Can I come up? Can I come up?) Can I, can I come up for air? (Can I come up? Can I come up?) [Verse 2] I'm getting eaten up down here I'm just not built like that (That) The big fish have a monopoly The little fish get buried in the sand [Pre-Chorus] This sea world I'm in Sucks your life out, leaving you comatose Take back your salt and fins Send me a lifeboat [Chorus] Can I come up for air? (Can I come up? Can I come up?) Can I come up for air? (Can I come up? Can I come up?) Can I come up for air? (Can I come up? Can I come up?) Can I come up for air? (Can I come up? Can I come up?) [Bridge] I look up with longing at the surface Hypnotized by the way the sunlight seems to ride each ripple And they do a dance Every ray becomes a beckoning hand I miss the sweet taste of oxygen I mistook this for the promised land [Chorus] Can I come up for air? (Can I come up? Can I come up?) Can I come up for air? (Can I come up? Can I come up?) Can I come up for air? (Can I come up? Can I come up?) Air, air (Can I come up? Can I come up?) Can I, can I come up? (Can I come up? Can I come up?) I, I (Can I come up? Can I come up?) I, I, I, I (Can I come up? Can I come up?) I (Can I come up? Can I come up?)
