Breathing

I think I lost the feeling of being tethered to your life support

I think I only realised after I had left and I was somewhere down the lane

I think I lost the feeling of being tethered to your life support

But now I’m back I feel the oxygen flooding my cold, neglected veins

Now I’m breathing

I don’t really need these lungs no more

‘Cause I’ve been thinking

I’ve never savoured air like this before

This before

Of all the things I thought I’d need to be out on the open field

it didn’t rank so highly on my list

The thought of needles, beds and tubes

A fool would even snuff the prospect out of mind and out of view

But in the aforementioned list

I took the wrong end of the stick

and forced it into gospel truth

But now I’m back I feel the oxygen flooding back inside my frozen shoes

Now I’m breathing

I don’t really need these lungs no more

‘Cause I’ve been thinking

I’ve never savoured air like this before

Now your lungs are all that I need

I breathe in deep and rest

I breathe and rest

I rest

Now I’m breathing

I don’t really need these lungs no more

‘Cause I’ve been thinking

I’ve never savoured air like this before
