Breathe Out Slowly

Like the tide to the sea
 You're coming back to me
 And I want to believe
 You are free
 What if I was to tell you
 That everything works out fine
 The things that matter most now
 Are the first things you'll leave behind
 And it may seem hard now
 But it's only a matter of time
 It takes a thousand wrongs before you even understand what's right
 The further you swim out to sea
 The harder it begins to see home
 The water washes off the sin
 You're swept up by the undertow
 What if I was to tell you
 That everything works out fine
 The things that matter most now
 Are the first things you'll leave behind
 And it may seem hard now
 But it's only a matter of time
 It takes a thousand wrongs before you even understand what's right
 The further you swim out to sea
 The harder it begins to see home
 The water washes off the sin
 You're swept up by the undertow
 It's as hard as the teeth you've been smiling through
 I can't tell if you're waving or drowning
 It's cold out there you'll catch your death
 I tried to talk couldn't catch my breath
 Is it you out there?
 I won't swim for anyone else
