Song lyrics Thinnest Of Air by Blues Traveler

How promising the start
of the letter being read until the captain proclaimed
"dying is my heart"
then a hush befalls the crowd as the theatre exclaimed
"now our 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 screams 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 the darkness of an empty house and there's nothing there
just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
Should 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 asking you to stay
but the only way that i know how
is by riddle or by game
it seems no one wants to play
and as i float on out to sea
i never really sink, i just drift 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 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 can ease your pain
well 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 that hold's pathetic
it's letting go that i greater dread
Call it a joke to hide a dream
it takes a great deal more than joking
to make any dream come true
so rock & roll and kick & 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 the darkness of an empty house and there's nothing there
just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
