"Breathe" lyrics
"Breathe"
16th of June, 9:05, door bell rings
Man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit longer
There's three things I need you to know — three!
Coming from a long line of travelling sales people on my mother's side
I wasn't gonna buy just anyone's cockatoo
So why would I invite a complete stranger into my home?
Would you?
These days are better than that
These days are better than that
Every day I die again, and again I'm reborn
Every day I have to find the courage
To walk out into the street
With arms out
Got a love you can't defeat
Neither down or out
There's nothing you have that I need
I can breathe
Breathe now
16th of June, Chinese stocks are going up
And I'm coming down with some new Asian virus
Ju Ju man, Ju Ju man
Doc says you're fine, or dying
Please
Nine 0 nine, St John Divine, on the line, my pulse is fine
But I'm running down the road like loose electricity
While the band in my head plays a striptease
The roar that lies on the other side of silence
The forest fire that is fear, so deny it
Walk out into the street
Sing your heart out
The people we meet
Will not be drowned out (hey)
There's nothing you have that I need
I can breathe
Breathe now
We are people born of sound
The songs are in our eyes
Gonna wear them like a crown
Oh, oh
Walk out into the sunburst street
Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
I found grace inside a sound
I found grace, it's all that I found
And I can breathe
Breathe now

Meant to be

Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Inseparable
But for the last time
You're everything

You're all that I dream

The Rolling Stones - "Jumpin' Jack Flash" I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas

Where the world's awaiting
I'll wait for you love
But I close my eyes, as there's pain too in paradise

Snow Patrol - "Just Say Yes" I'm running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me

So just tell me today and take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Please...
R.E.M. - "Me In Honey" I sat there looking ugly, looking ugly and mean
I knew what you were saying, you were saying to me
Baby's got some new rules
Baby said she's had it with me
It seems a shame to waste your time on me...
