Lyrics

I wish I could stay
For a little longer
I'd just like to take a deep breath
Let my lungs fill with water

...and I wish I could say
Everything's alright
That she's air tight
... but she's taking on water

She's taking on water
(repeats)

I wish I could play
Some more in the sun
...but she's all done
...and taking on water

She's taking on water
(repeats)

...and I wish I could live
Another day tomorrow
But I know...
that time...
is...
