Long way down

It gradually happened so fast you know
And it suddenly happened so slow
Now I'm washed up and waiting for the tide to carry me home
And let me go

Such a long way home

You want to leave so fast
How is it gonna last?
You know it's a long way down
Up in the stratosphere
I'm all alone in here
You know it's a long way down
You know it's a long way down

????
When you're burned out and run aground
There must be somebody out there
Who can reach you when you're this far down
