Sometimes I can’t breathe
My lungs have given up and my mind collapses in on itself
It’s like I’m drowning a thousand miles from the ocean
And I don’t know what it is

Sometimes I can’t sleep
My nightmares have reached me in my wakefulness
My eyelids shoot open every time I start to dream
Something’s screaming at me and I don’t know what it is

Sometimes I can’t eat
My mouth turns too dry and all food loses taste
It’s like I’m made of plastic and I’m already dead
And I don’t know what it is

Sometimes I can’t hear your voice anymore
And maybe you just have nothing to say
But it’s getting hard to remember the last words that you said
I don’t know what they were, and I don’t know what it is

Sometimes I feel so alone I could die
Even though I know you’re right here with me
I can’t feel your arms wrapped tightly around me
And it frightens me, and I don’t know what it is

Sometimes I can feel that my faith is fading
I lost my hope because I never knew what to put it in
And I don’t know what it is
I don’t know what it is

Maybe I’ll just lie here awhile
Maybe I’ll just fade away
Maybe my spirit will be lifted to soar above the treetops
And I won’t know what it is

But can I tell you that I’m falling?
The closer I come to you, the more lost I feel
I locked myself in the safe room, but left my key on the other side
I don’t know what it is, but I know only you can save me.

I don’t know what it is
But again, sometimes I don’t even know who I am
I only know you have me
Take me, I’m  yours
