lyrics

Something told me not to stay
But I did anyway 
Next thing I was on the crown of a ship that was going down
Not enough lifeboats to go around but somehow 
I'm still breathing 

And I still don't know the reason 
That nobody saw the beacons 
We were on the starboard side looking cross-eyed at the sea
Cause everything that brought us this far
Could not help us anymore

You gotta leave it all at the door 
Something inside has to die for a new life to be born
And with the full moon in your eyes innocence died 
But Mona Lisa smiled 
And all along all you thought:
"Am I still breathing? Yes I'm still breathing. 
And if I'm still breathing, I still got a reason."

It's a necessary change that you gotta go through 
Even if it's out of the blue
I recall driving you around when you were two
Sipping on a witches brew 

But now the water is rising slowly 
Your vessel is sinking below the waves 
Nothing left to do

But if I make it out alive 
I swear I will never turn out the lights 
I'll keep singing this song for you
From Damascus to Waterloo 

As long as I'm still breathing…
