Fighting For Air - Bernard Fanning

How’d we end up here

Like souvenirs from another time

Fighting for air

A light is casting shadows

That darken my despair

Through that fading light

You follow me there

I got a mind to say how fine it is to be your fool

I’m marking time till I get back to you

I can’t fight the shaking in my mind

I’m marking time till I get back to you

An echoing empty space in your heart

Where my love used to hide

Is closing fast

Each time I followed you into the dark

It chilled me to the marrow

Left me fighting for air

I got a mind to say how fine it is to be your fool

I’m marking time till I get back to you

I can’t fight the shaking in my mind

'Cause I’m no good when you’re gone

I’m no good when you’re gone

How’d I end up here like a mutineer

Against my pride

Fighting for air

So lay down by my side one more time before I go

Let our hearts collide

Let our secrets be known
