Coming Up For Air Lyrics
Is this a question of time
Is this a question of space
I've been out of my mind
I'm coming up for air
To work it out
If you throw me a line
Then I'll try to replace
All the things I can't find
'Cause I'm coming up for air
To let it out
Defection from the state I'm in
Reflections of a world within
Back with myself again
All my fears
Just like a ball and chain
And I know
Although I am alone
I'm at home
Here with my selfish pain
It's not a question of faith
It's not a question of hope
I'm getting out of this place
I'm coming up for air
To work it out
Defection from the state I'm in
Reflections of a world within
I'm feeling colder now
A little bolder now
Pure as my sins allow
Broke every promise and proud
Is this a question of space
I've been out of my mind
I'm coming up for air
To work it out
Then I'll try to replace
All the things I can't find
'Cause I'm coming up for air
To let it out
Reflections of a world within
All my fears
Just like a ball and chain
And I know
Although I am alone
I'm at home
Here with my selfish pain
It's not a question of hope
I'm getting out of this place
I'm coming up for air
To work it out
Reflections of a world within
A little bolder now
Pure as my sins allow
Broke every promise and proud
this is my favorite song off Ghosts, and could be the third single. The acoustic version is great, too!!
It's about trying to do something difficult and not caring about the consequences.
I got that it is about battling depression, and then pulling through. Doing something for yourself - she is allowed to be happy
