“Breathing Song” serves as a companion to A-side “Honey”, which is sung about the same topic. The two songs detail a time in her life when she was using alcohol as a distraction from pain.

[Verse 1]
Your friends were so scary
I wish you were more like them
It was just like a movie
You carried me up into to your room
Raggedy Ann legs
I said, "Can I just sleep on the air bed?"
[Chorus]
No, no, no
No, no, no
[Verse 2]
Drove me from the bar
Straight to the ER
While I bled on your car
The doctor was mean
But you called him a dumbass
And waited there all night
And then you said "Sorry"
And, "It wasn't mine, right?"
[Chorus]
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
[Verse 3]
I shouldn't have picked up
Your logic was giant
Rendered me on my way and quiet
And I loved coming over
'Cause it felt like dying
And after you finished
You asked if I was crying
[Chorus]
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
[Verse 4]
Called on a Sunday
Shakin' like crazy
Said, "I got a shrink
And she said the same thing
That everyone else did"
And then it was silent
You said, "Alright, am I being indicted?"
[Chorus]
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
[Bridge]
We played the Greek Theatre
You would've loved it
Noah said, "Can I ask about something?"
So I tried to tell him
Mostly from your side
And then I stopped breathing
So we did an exercise
Four in, six out
"Samia, why would it matter what happened after you said-"
[Chorus]
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
