SWIMMING IN AIR
(Lunsford/Meltsner)

This place is so loud I can't hear myself think
The music's turned down
The light's blue and pink
I try to make clear what I have to say
But all of my thoughts keep floating away

And now I'm swimming in air
Only half of me is there
Partways a real man, partways a fool
Partways a loser in love with you

This bar's full of lovers whispering affairs
I'm just another customer here
And nobody knows the things that I've seen
These eyes of mine show
All the places I've been

But now I'm swimming in air
Only half of me is there
Partways a real man, partways a fool
Partways a loser in love with you

I knew my heart was wrong when you
Turned colder than the night
But it won't be long till the end's in sight
You're not my destiny I know
You're not my light
I might be a loser but I'll be all right
I know I'll be all right

But for now I'm swimming in air
Only half of me is there
Partways a real man, partways a fool
Partways a loser in love with you

This bar's full of lovers whispering affairs
But I'm just another customer here
They raise up their glasses
And smile as they gaze
And each one that passes
Makes me think of those days

And now I'm swimming in air
Only half of me is there
Partways a real man, partways a fool
Partways a loser in love with you

Yeah, swimming in air
Only half of me is there
Partways a real man, partways a fool
Partways a loser in love with you
