Air Lyrics

Artist: Ben Folds Five
Album: Godzilla Soundtrack

Saw a silhouette across a fluorescent
Floating overhead, undoing his helmet
Through the murky beams and blue-green sea life
I saw him spinnin' towards the moonlight
I pull him in, he wasn't breathin'
His eyes were wide and I saw two of me there
There's an ugly buzz that hovers just above the quiet
Found a way to make it silent
I'm comin' up for air (2x)
Air (2x)
They hold my hand and ask me to pull through
A voice I know says "Dear, he probably can't hear you..."
Comin' up for air (3x)

Seriously one the better pieces written while the band was whole.
Shame it got forced B-side.

One of the greatest's songs ever written. Too bad there is no live version and video of it.
