[Verse 1]
I long to taste adventure like the nature of the sea
Always moving, always hiding all the creatures from beneath
Singing silent songs of sadness my heart waits for its chance
To dance upon the ashes of my burned up little plans

[Pre-Chorus]
And I stand alone before the night
My nakedness is so clear in the glow of the moonlight
Life is old but so short
We are young we want more

[Chorus]
I'm drowning, but I don't care
Because when you got what I got, what I got, who needs air?
I don't need air

[Verse 2]
My addiction to danger like the rush of the sea
Like a wave on the rocks, the lessons crash down on me
I don't need to prove the world to you only to myself
So step back and look away as I dive into the swell

[Chorus]
I'm drowning, but I don't care
Because when you got what I got, what I got, who needs air?

[Bridge]
So take me down to the river like a little child
Take my hand and tell me its okay to be wild
I never knew the world until I saw through your eyes
I never knew my self until I ripped off my disguise

[Chorus]
I'm drowning, but I don't care
Because when you got what I got, what I got, who needs air?

[Ending]
I'm drowning, but I don't care
Because when you got what I got, what I got, who needs air?
I'm drowning, but I don't care
Because when you got what I got, what I got, don't need air

I have come the realization that
Life is more than what I have accomplished
And life is more than the realization
That we have accomplished nothing at all
True success is so selfless, so drowned in the lyrics of your life
So give up the air that you breathe – you don't need anything
