Breathe

She said "I don't understand you."

I tried again to explain

I fumbled with the weight of words

sometimes they all begin to sound the same

I hate to see her eyes that way

I hate to hold another day

wondering if there's more that I should do or more to say

If I could fix it with a song

to fix it with a painting

to be anything you long for

music when it's raining

I'll be a phone call away

but it's nothing like the feeling

of watching you talk with your hands or holding on to you when you say

You're happy you met me...

Do you want to take a little time to breathe outside this town

do you want to take my car or we could walk we'll collapse on the ground

we could lie awake and listen to the stars until they all fall down

leave it all behind and just

breathe

forgetting everything to just

breathe

She said "I know I'm not poetic."

as she lit her cigarette

the candlelight the smell of peach the music played and yet

she's worrying again

but there's nothing left to fear

I wish the anticipation of daylight would just disappear

I'm just happy I met you...

Do you want to take a little time to breathe outside this town

do you want to take my car or we could walk until we collapse on the ground

we could lie awake and talk about the stars until they all fall down

leave it all behind and just

breathe

just breathe

forgetting everything to just

breathe

breathe

She said she's never seen a shotting star

and the summertime air is so far

when you see your breath

in the quiet's death

we're both so completely alive

I'm happy I met you

I'm just happy I met you

Do you want to take a day or two to breathe outside this town

do you want to take my car or we could walk until we collapse on the ground

we could lie awake and think about the stars until they all fall down

leave it all behind and just

breathe

just breathe

forgetting everything to just

breathe

breathe

to you want to get away and just breathe

breathe. breathe.
