Lyrics
As I think about letting go
The pace slows me down and overwhelms
As exhaustion tempers youth
I lie awake next to you.
Squeeze me until I can't breathe
And whisper me away.
And I bet they're tired of my carrying on
And I can't sleep a wink before the dawn
And I know they'll laugh when I croon
And smile while you roll the stone over my tomb.
Squeeze me until I can't breathe
And whisper me away.
Breathe out and listen close the rise and fall
Beats out a symphony of life while freezing air
Turns these breaths into clouds.
And I breathe clean air.
