Hey there, girl, here's a little song for you
Keep in mind that it's only my words
I want to tell you a little bit about me
I was once lost, gone from the centre
Couldn't tell what direction I was going in
Followed the signs of another man's promise
Yeah, another man's promise
Oh, I turned to the outside for answers
But I knew I could only find within
And the question grew like a cancer
Making my mind and my body limp
I wish there was a backway out
I wish there was a backway out!
I turn to the mirror to find me
Then close my eyes again
Then I open the window behind me
And let some air in
Held my breath as I swam to the surface
The higher I got, the stronger the current
I was so afraid that I'd drown
As I was slowly sinking back down
I looked to the sky for the answers
That I knew I could only find within
And I put all my hopes in tomorrow
As I didn't know where to begin
I wish there was a backway out
I wish there was a backway out!
I turned to the mirror (oh!) to find me (find me)
Then close my eyes again (close my eyes again)
Then I open the window (yeah!) behind me (behind me)
And let some air in
Oh, let some air in (let some air in)
Yeah (let some air in), yeah (let some air in)
Gotta let some air in, yeah (let some air in
Let some air in, let some air in)
Oh, I turned to the outside for answers
That I knew I could only find within
And the question grew like a cancer
Making my mind and my body limp
I wish there was a backway out
Wish there was a backway out!
I turned to the mirror (mirror) to find me (find me)
Then close my eyes again (close my eyes, yeah)
Then I open the window (yeah!) behind me (behind me)
And let some air in
I turned to the mirror (the mirror) to find me (find me)
Then close my eyes again (gotta close my eyes)
Then I open the window (oh!) behind me (behind me)
And let some air in
(Let some air in, let some air in
Let some air in, let some air in
Let some air in, let some air in
Let some air in, let some air in)
Gotta let some air, air
Yeah, hey
Gotta let some air, air
Yeah, yeah
Mmm-mmm
