[Verse 1: Dave Grunewald]
Head underwater, so easy to get lost
No need to bother, expect the worst
Keep my head underwater till I'm unconscious
Let's count the seconds together till my heart is at rest

[Pre-Chorus 1: Christoph Wieczorek & Dave Grunewald]
I am on the way to the dead
One, two, three, four
A rush of blood to the head
Five, six, seven, eight, stop

[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek & Dave Grunewald]
You think it's just a second in a world of time
But how much is it when it comes to dying?
One second can decide about now or never
Will you stay or go? Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever

[Verse 2: Dave Grunewald]
Driving down the avenue out of town
Which is the tree for you? Let's count them down
Driving through the night, straight through red traffic lights
Should I grip the wheel tight? Or should I just let go?

[Pre-Chorus 2: Christoph Wieczorek & Dave Grunewald]
Do you ever think of staying underwater
Eight, seven, six, five
What is it that keeps me from doing it?
Four, three, two, one, stop
[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek & Dave Grunewald]
You think it's just a second in a world of time
But how much is it when it comes to dying
One second can decide about now or never
Will you stay or go? Nothing lasts forever

[Bridge: Christoph Wieczorek]
It's the heaviest choice to cross the dark line
'Cause every time I try, you stay there and shine
It's the heaviest choice because you're in my mind
Every time I try diving into the black water void

[Outro: Dave Grunewald & Christoph Wieczorek]
You light me up, you light me up
In these dark times
You light me up, you light me up
In these dark times, in these dark times
