Verse 1:
                
  Here I am, take me
                      
  It's easier to give in... no oo woo oo woo oo o
                    
  Some people mistake me

   If you're losing sleep, forgive me
             
   I just can't keep pretending


Chorus:
                                        
I'm packing my bags 'cause I don't wanna be
                                   
The only one who's drowning in their misery
                                             
And I'll take that chance 'cause I just wanna breathe
                                          
And I won't look back and wonder how it's supposed to be
                     -------
How it's supposed to be... ho woo


Verse 2:
                           
  There's a prism by the window
                               
  It lets the light leak in... no oo woo oo woo oo o
                     
  I wish you would let me
                                           
  You feel the water but do you swim... mm mm oh oo oh oo woo oo oh

   With a childish grin, and a camera

How it's supposed to be... ho woo
