    Breathless


    I couldn’t tell you why I’m here
    I couldn’t say how I am standing
    Here on my own two feet again
    Unsteady in my thicker skin
    A tougher hide to block the world out
    At least the parts I’m learning to forget

    I never knew it felt so real
    I never thought it could be so good
    But I’m learning just how good it gets
    I know this for certain now
    I know that you will be a part of
    Every line that I will ever sing

    Goodnight tomorrow, I’m ready for you now

    I drown in your eyes when you say goodbye
    Now I’m coming up for air because you leave me breathless
    When I see your smile, I feel I’ve ran for miles
    and I’m grasping out for air because you leave me breathless

    I don’t know how you pulled me out
    I don’t know what you do to me that
    Leaves me here so winded
    I know that when you stare me down
    I feel a tremble in my feet
    Like the world can’t contain this beating heart

    A polished verse to tell you now
    Though you will never see how it shines
    Because I’m just a coward with a pen
    I hide behind my little words
    Finding comfort in the spaces
    In the cooling shade of lies of you and I

    Goodnight tomorrow, I’m ready for you now

    I drown in your eyes when you say goodbye
    Now I’m coming up for air because you leave me breathless
    When I see your smile, I feel I’ve ran for miles
    and I’m grasping out for air because you leave me breathless
