Bilingual
Look at the sun and the sky and the sand and the sea behind me
Look at me, suddenly I am on land, and I'm free
Don't mind me
As I climb for the first time, jump for the first time
ย
Trying to stand but this gravity's pulling me down
ย
Look, it's a fire, it's warm, and it glows, and it lights this chamber
Let me admire it, aw, get too close and it bites
I came too close for the first time
Burned for the first time
Everything's clearer and brighter and hotter
But now that I'm here like a fish out of water
I'm trying to stand but this gravity's pulling me down
ย
Are we only food for slaughter?
Is this life on land?
Well, you were lonely underwater
Come on, Ariel, time to stand
ย
Squeeze in the shoes and the corset, it's tight
And the seams are bursting
Some women choose this, I guess it's alright
Are my dreams adjusting?
ย
As I wait for the first time
Here for the first time
Now for the first time
He's coming through those doors
ย
Up the stairs
From the shore
From that moment
And he'll smile
Like he knows
When I say
ย
Realize the prize that you paid with your voice
As he turns from you
Those sacrifices you made were a choice
That you can't undo
Lost for the first time
Scared for the first time
Gravity feels like an undertow pulling me down
