"Just One Breath Away" lyrics

"Just One Breath Away"

Home
You wanna be
Beneath the summer sky on summer's eve
Before too soon the day will come
Before too long you'll walk in the sun
Where the olive branches bend like fingertips
And pollen fills the air and bluevine honey drips
Just one breath away from being home

Deep in the avalanche of hope and disbelief
Even your good friends may surprise you when they leave
There are no leaders that could navigate these walls
No amount of sugar can satisfy it all
But you can trust them all but be sure you cut the cards
Stay wide awake and snake across the boulevard
Just one breath away from being

Home
You wanna be
Beneath the southern sky on summer's eve
Looking through these graves of wasted love
Washed on these river banks, spit out from the flood
It could feel like more than one thousand needle tips, all pointed up
Your punishment demands you stitch all your own cuts
Just one breath away from being home

Fear no gallows
Fear no axe
Fear no names
'Cause they don't make statues
For their kinds anyway

Take a photograph as every moment comes
Soon all these memories will be compressed to one
Just one breath away from being home
You wanna be
Beneath the southern sky on summer's eve
For too soon the day will come
Before too long you'll walk in the sun

Home
Home
Home
Home
