I don't agree with all the lyrics posted above and sent an edit lyrics email that is pending. So as of 7-17-13 they were incorrect. Having heard this song over and over as I read along, I believe the following is 99% accurate. Incredible song!!

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
