[Verse 1: Adam Gardner]

I was down for the count

Without any real way out

In this new submarine

Like the whale of Jonah's dreams

[Chorus: Gardner/Gardner, Ryan Miller & Joe Pisapia]

And what if I should rise up

From several fathoms deep?

A scar on my soul

And a humbling tale of a world

That swallowed me whole

Swallowed me whole

[Verse 2: Gardner]

It was harmless enough

While acquiring all this stuff

But the truth in the end

Was a slippery descent

[Chorus: Gardner/Gardner, Miller & Pisapia]

And what if I should rise up

From several fathoms deep?

A scar on my soul

And a humbling tale of a world

That swallowed me whole

Swallowed me whole

[Bridge: Gardner & Pisapia]

I was asleep while the angels were weeping

And racing below me to cushion my fall

[Chorus: Gardner/Gardner, Miller & Pisapia]

And I was just like Jonah

Staring down the whale

A scar on my soul

And a humbling tale of a world

That swallowed me whole

Swallowed me whole

Swallowed me whole

It swallowed me whole
