Story Behind The Song
Originally entitled "Dirty World", the instrumental was written about all the corruption and greed in the world. The vocalist came in to sing a story of a break up where one person wants to keep holding on while the other wants a fresh start.
Song Description
Slow steady groove almost disco but more like Sade. A relaxing song but at the same time exhilarating to listen to with guitar and muted trumpet interplay and soothing background vocals. A half time bridge section with a cool understated synth solo and dreamy vocals leads to the 3rd chorus with a guitar theme (ala Journey) taking front stage. Then there's an instrumental "chill out" section at the end with sporadic guitar and trumpet riffs

Lyrics
I know that you've going through a really tough time, and I know that you've been lonely.
I know you wanna blame me I'll accept my crime, but here's what's on my mind.
Just breathe; it's not as bad as you believe, all the beauty that you see.
Just breathe, exhale the thought of me, just breathe and you'll be free.
I know that you've been hurtin wanna hurt me too, and you feel your life in shattered.
The only thing that mattered to you torn apart, get up and stop your cryin.
Just breathe; it's not as bad as you believe, all the beauty that you see.
Just breathe, exhale the thought of me, just breathe and you'll be free.
It's not as bad as you believe
Exhale the thought of me
Just breathe and you'll be free
All the beauty that you see
Exhale the thought of me
Just breathe and you'll be free
