I was supposed to do great things
I know the road was long.
But I wasn’t raised to shoot for fame
I had the safety on
I cut my ties, I sold my rings
I wanted none of this
If you start from scratch, you have to sing
Just for the fun of it
[Chorus]
I’ll be alright, if I could just see you
Come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile where does it lead to?
Come up for air, come up for air
I feel the air upon my face, forget the mess I’m in
Hold me again, don’t count mistakes, I lost track of them
[Chorus]
I was in the mud, I was in the dirt
Went underground and I found what I was worth
All alone and I know I can’t stay,
So I'm walking up and down the streets, to stay awake
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Get outside, get all over the world
Your little love, what you get in return
It may be peddling, it may be peice of mind
But you have to slow down
and breathe, one breath a time.
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
[Chorus]
I’ll be alright, if I could just see you
A miracle mile where does it lead to?

@golfman2112 good but pretty sure the line is “you’ll learn to love what you get in return” not your little love
