[Verse 1]
I can hold my breath for a minute or so
Five days without food is as long as I'll go
I didn't sleep once for four days and three nights
I once didn't stop for seven red lights
I jumped into water that's fifty degrees
I rowed in a kayak in thirty-foot seas
I stayed in the woods for a week with a knife
A flint when I lost it nearly cost me my life
[Pre-Chorus]
Twenty years later
I'm still upside down
[Chorus]
And it's a small world, and it's turning real fast (Here upside down)
It's a new day, and the mourning has passed (Turned upside down)
It's a short road, but the mountains are tall (Land upside down)
It's a small world
But we all start out small
[Verse 2]
I hurtle through air though I feel I'm alone
I stick with the others to the skin of the stone
I stop for a stranger just to give him a lift
I cling like a lizard to the side of the cliff
I treat every minute like an hour and then
It seems like a year has just flashed by again
We build a foundation, but where do we stand
When all air is water and all water is land?
I can hold my breath for a minute or so
Five days without food is as long as I'll go
I didn't sleep once for four days and three nights
I once didn't stop for seven red lights
I jumped into water that's fifty degrees
I rowed in a kayak in thirty-foot seas
I stayed in the woods for a week with a knife
A flint when I lost it nearly cost me my life
[Pre-Chorus]
Twenty years later
I'm still upside down
[Chorus]
And it's a small world, and it's turning real fast (Here upside down)
It's a new day, and the mourning has passed (Turned upside down)
It's a short road, but the mountains are tall (Land upside down)
It's a small world
But we all start out small
[Verse 2]
I hurtle through air though I feel I'm alone
I stick with the others to the skin of the stone
I stop for a stranger just to give him a lift
I cling like a lizard to the side of the cliff
I treat every minute like an hour and then
It seems like a year has just flashed by again
We build a foundation, but where do we stand
When all air is water and all water is land?
