From the recording Under Water
This song has a similar message to ‘Fly’, though with a very different feel. “I had just dropped out of Uni. and felt even more lost than before,” says Ben. “I felt like I was sinking ‘Under Water’… like I couldn't breathe. I was completely stuck and I couldn't see any future for myself. “
Lyrics
UNDER WATER
It's only a matter of time
Before I lose my mind and I hate it the only escape is slowly fading slowly fading away
I’m getting further now
The light pulls away and I’m dragged down into the darkness oh
So what do I do now?
I try to break the surface it won't work I’m trying so hard slowly fading slowly fading away
There is nothing left
I take my last breath I am drowning lungs are empty oh
Yeah I’m under the water
Oh please don't make me stay
I need a chance to break through
Yeah I’m under the water
There's nothing left to say
I’m not getting away from here
It's all part of life to struggle where you are going
The only thing to do is keep on pushing It doesn't matter what you have been planning It's gone
It's all part of life to struggle where you are going
The only thing to do is keep on pushing It doesn't matter what you have been planning It's gone oh
It's only a matter of time
Before I lose my mind and I hate it the only escape is slowly fading slowly fading away
I’m getting further now
The light pulls away and I’m dragged down into the darkness oh woah
So what do I do now?
I try to break the surface it won't work I’m trying so hard slowly fading slowly fading away
There is nothing left
I take my last breath I am drowning lungs are empty oh
Yeah I’m under the water
Oh please don't make me stay
I need a chance to break through
Yeah I’m under the water
There's nothing left to say
I’m not getting away from here
It's all part of life to struggle where you are going
The only thing to do is keep on pushing It doesn't matter what you have been planning It's gone
It's all part of life to struggle where you are going
The only thing to do is keep on pushing It doesn't matter what you have been planning It's gone oh
I’m all out of time
It's taking a toll and I’m not getting out
I know I can't fight
Nothing I do will get me through
And everything builds up inside I’m trapped in a lie
No one should feel like this
Oh where is my happiness It's gone
Yeah I’m under the water
Oh please don't make me stay
I need a chance to break through
Yeah I’m under the water
There's nothing left to say
I’m not getting away from here
It's all part of life to struggle where you are going
The only thing to do is keep on pushing It doesn't matter what you have been planning It's gone
It's all part of life to struggle where you are going
The only thing to do is keep on pushing It doesn't matter what you have been planning It's gone oh
