The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
The faster we're falling, We're stopping and stalling We're running in circles again Just as things we're looking up You said it wasn't good enough But still we're trying one more time Maybe we're just trying to hard When really it's closer than it is too far Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep Up above in my head, instead of going under Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep Up above in my head, instead of going under Instead of going under Seems like each time I'm with you I loose my mind Because I'm bending over backwards to relate It's one thing to complain But when you're driving me insane Well then I think it's time that we took a break Maybe we're just trying to hard When really it's closer than it is too far Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep Up above in my head, instead of going under Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep Up above in my head, instead of going under Instead of going under Instead of going under Instead of going under I can't sit back and wonder why It took so long for this to die And I hate it when you fake it You can't hide it you might as well embrace it So believe me it's not easy It seems that something's telling me Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep Up above in my head, instead of going under Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep Up above in my head, instead of going under Instead of going under Instead of going under again Instead of going under Instead of going under again Instead of going under again Instead of going under again
