This small book, it holds the story of my life
laid out across three pages just for you
Because I want to hold you close
On my own feet I started walking
To synchronize my breath with you
So neither of us will be alone
Hey, MamaI might have found somebody that I really like
"Well, good for you"
"Come see me"
Hey,
What are you living off of?
Who is it that drives you to go on?
Who is it that you think of?
Have you learned all of the words to say?
Papa, Mama, Nina
What a good job you have done
Now I'll go and have my fun
What's this?
Well this is strange
In the momentI had come to hold you close
I should have noticed most of all
That my hands reaching out just to get through
Already hurt you
And the words that I said
I remember the timesthey had cut straight on through
Like a knife
That was driving into you
"Just before you go and tear the knife away
We'll breatheI'll come in closer -
our lips togetherwill collide and meet as one"
With just a kiss
You live for me and me alone
I breathe for you and you for me
And as we sink eternally
The words were rusted with our sweet saliva
Hey
Do you think that we could look back on this all,
and laugh together one day?
From today you'll be the air I breatheyour breath is everything in me
The "I love you"s we tried to say
That we screwed up, but not today
You know, I've loved you all this time
There doesn't need to be a "why"
I'll always be here by your sideand live with you through every life
And all the bad things that we said
I'd rather let them out instead
And breathe in with you
So we can breathe in sync til' we die
