This is a song explaining a modern platonic relationship and how its writer relies on someone that isn’t his.
He may love this person and even adore her but he knows that she isn’t the one for him and nonetheless he continues because she is what he needs right now.
She is simply a shoulder he leans...
[Verse 1]
Don't you wanna try it?
People gonna say what they gonna say
They could be desire
Think it's a mistake that we gotta make
'Cause you're almost messed up as me
And though it don't go very deep
But honey, when we're lying
Get a sense of space like a sweet escape
[Pre-Chorus]
We both know
That we're taking the weight of the world
On our own
But we won't work, could it hurt to be held
This ain't love, it ain't freedom
We've got someone to lean on
This ain't love, it ain't reason, when we hurt
[Chorus]
All I know is I can breathe a-gain
You help me when I need a friend
Breathe a-gain
You help me when I need, help me when I need
Breathe a-gain
You help when I need a friend
Breathe a-gain
You help me when I need, help me when I need
[Verse 2]
Did you see it coming?
Guess we found mutual ground on the floor
Hitting rock bottom
It's pretty cold winter, hold something warm
'Cause you give me space to pretend
That all of my demons are friends
Only thing in common
Is we don't wanna be alone anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
We both know
That we're taking the weight of the world
On our own
But we won't work, could it hurt to be held
This ain't love, it ain't freedom
We've got someone to lean on
This ain't love, it ain't reason, when we hurt
[Chorus]
All I know is I can breathe a-gain
You help me when I need a friend
Breathe a-gain
You help me when I need, help me when I need
Breathe a-gain
You help when I need a friend
Breathe a-gain
You help me when I need, help me when I need
[Bridge]
Don't need to be that fantasy [?]
Just some company to remedy how dark the world can get
We won't worry 'bout our timing
So where it's gonna go
Spend it with or without, live for an hour
[Pre-Chorus]
Honey, we both know
That we're taking the weight of the world
On our own
But it won't work, could it hurt to be hurt
This ain't love, it ain't freedom
We've got someone to lean on
This ain't love, it ain't easy when we hurt
[Chorus]
All I know is I can breathe a-gain
You help me when I need a friend
Breathe a-gain
You help me when I need, help me when I need
Breathe a-gain
You help when I need a friend
Breathe a-gain
You help me when I need, help me when I need
