Coming up for a breath of air
Gasping so desperately
I've come to know it's my choice
To swim, tread or drown
I know I fell off the deep end
No longer can I pretend
I need to get off my ass and
Take the steps to be a better man
Slowly loosening the hold
My battered self had on my conscience
Like the grains on this sandy shore
They're just a symbol of time
I know I fell off the deep end
No longer can I pretend
I need to get off my ass and
Take the steps to be a better man
I know I fell off the deep end
No longer can I pretend
I need to get off my ass and
Take the steps to be a better man
So for this, I thank you my friend
You helped me get out of my head
