[instrumental intro] [verse] White ceiling tiles Buzzing like a question fragrant flowers By the plastic bed Nurse says my name Like it might break Someone holds my hand I can’t squeeze back [chorus] Because I’m here Underwater Under the glass Half-open eyes When will this pass -- I hear you praying Through vibrations of the room Because I’m here Somewhere inside this cocoon [verse] Footsteps clap down an endless hall Sun on the blinds Thin strips on the wall -- You read me stories I can’t recall But your voice is the only thing I hold [bridge] If I could move I’d write it on your palm One small word To anchor you to calm Stay Even when I barely breathe Stay Believe for both of us For me Stay Stay [chorus] Because I’m here Underwater Under the glass Half-open eyes When will this pass -- I hear you praying Through vibrations of the room Because I’m here Somewhere inside this cocoon [guitar solo] [chorus][reprise] Because I’m here Underwater Under the glass Half-open eyes When will this pass -- I hear you praying Through vibrations of the room Because I’m here Somewhere inside this cocoon [outro] White ceiling tiles Don't answer back Just time Only time But your hand in mine Keeps pulling me Up Keep pulling me up
