Blues Traveler Thinnest Of Air Lyrics

Thinnest Of Air lyrics
How promising the start
Of the letter being read until the captain proclaims
Dying is my heart
Then a hush befalls the crowd as the theater exclaims

Now the hero's part is played
And they continue as the lights come on
And they get up to go
And we are all betrayed
For our champion he bleeds and cries like us
Do they deserve to know that

Yes I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around him the darkness of an empty house
And there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air

The love inside me die
Come save me, I'll be drowning
Just a few feet from the beach
Please give it your best try
Though I may do my best to
Distance you and keep your arms from reach

I'm really begging you to stay
But the only way that I know how
Is by riddle or by game
It seems no one wants to play
As I float on out to sea
I never sink, I just drift away and say that

Yes I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared

Yeah me
I feel around him the darkness of an empty house
And there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air

If ever I could ease your pain
No, I don't think I'd release you
I'd spin fairy tales instead
Or else you'd never need me again
And though I know my holds pathetic
It's letting go that I greater dread

Call it a joke that hides a dream
It takes a great deal more than joking
To make any dream come true
So rock 'n' roll and kick and scream
For what it's worth I can't
Resist this flame and fire to finally say to you that

Yes I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around him the darkness of an empty house
And there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air

Yes I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around him the darkness of an empty house
And there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
