Lyrics

Breakers

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh... Waiting for My words to catch like I'm trying To strike a match that's soaking wet See through skull See through skin Leave all the lights on Can't see out But they see in Stare down my nose, watching The color drain from my eyes Cold cereal and TV Before I go to sleep Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh... Breathing out Hoping to breathe in I know nothing's wrong but I'm not convinced No, I know, I know how far it's gone myself Maybe I'll believe it from somebody else No, I know, I know how far it's gone myself Maybe I'll believe it from somebody else Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh... Breathing out Hoping to breathe in I know nothing's wrong, but I'm not convinced I can let it happen, just let it happen Just don't think so much, don't think so much Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
