I went weightless
Into the water last summer
Baptized in youth
The ocean 'round my waist
I have always been this way
I was always meant to
I've always had these thoughts
I've always told them not
Not to you
But I had something to offer
When I went weightless
Into the water
So I flew away
Into a sea cloud
Landed in grasses that looked familiar
I was never told how
And I don't belong here
But do I belong there
Do I belong to a place or a name or an old love affair
Cause I had something to offer
When I went tainted
Into new water
And all these people
In the crowds I walk through
They act like they're full on love
Don't worry, it'll never reach you
Cause I feel they're empty
But they don't listen to twenty
And I have something to offer
Aren't you somebody's daughter
Cause I was pushed down by angels
Under the water
Under the water
And someday I will find a place where I can breath again
Someday I will find a place where I can breath again
Someday I will find a place where I can breath again
And I will find it without maps and without oxygen
Cause I'd have nothing to offer
If I went nameless
Into somebody's waters
And I could poison the water
If I went nameless
Into somebody's offers
I want to drive now
Go 'till the sky changes color
I'll change with it, I'll learn how
To add and subtract it's wonders
I could move to Seattle
I heard it rains there
A good cleanse from my travels
But what about Maine
I have always been this way
I have always been this way
I have always been this way
