I want to be able to breathe underwater
From the moment I saw you swimming there
I couldn't help but stop and stare
Into your eyes, how they hypnotize
I take one step closer, you beckon me
Your arms are open, begging me

But don't drag me down
'cause I don't want to drown
Just give me some time to learn
To breathe in your world
Don't drag me down

Is this love or some crazy parlor trick
Are you human or just a fish
Filleted or steak, a tasty dish
Or are you an angel sent from the deep blue sea
You say I'm running out of time
I need to choose to live or die

But don't drag me down
'cause I don't want to drown
Just give me some time to learn
To breathe in your world
But don't drag me down

You promise me we'd stay as one forever
Time was running short
I fell into the sea

And you dragged me down
I drowned, died in your arms
You filled me with life again
Now I can breathe in your world
You dragged me down
(I left my life above the ground)
You dragged me down
(To your castle in the sand)
You dragged me down
