Backwards Breathing

Don’t have to pretend you’re happy
Don’t have to pretend you’re like me

I know it feels like nobody has your back
I know it feels like you feel nothing at all

Calm down

When you’ve done all your running love
I hope you find your way back to me
Do you know what you’re waiting for?
We might not be here tomorrow

Can there be no other way around it?
Pick yourself off of that floor
Why are we here on the bottom of the ocean?

[Chorus]
You’re not in a building on fire
Why are you so out of breath?
You’re not off the hook
You’re no longer required.

I need a shot of adrenaline
Why are we still on the fence?
You’re not off the hook,
You’re not off the hook yet

If you believe it in your heart of hearts
Why does it still feel like being torn apart?
You’re not off the hook,
You’re not off the hook yet

And if we’re leaving here tomorrow
Were we even here today?
Was I never meant to know you
Was it ever meant to be?

By midnight tomorrow
When our souls are flying free
Was I never meant to hold you
Was it never meant to be?

[Chorus]
You’re not in a building on fire
Why are you so out of breath?
You’re not off the hook
You’re no longer required.

I need a shot of adrenaline
Why are we still on the fence?
You’re not off the hook,
You’re not off the hook at all

You’re not off the hook,
You’re not off the hook yet

If you believe it in your heart of hearts
Why does it still feel like being torn apart?

If you believe it in your heart of hearts
If you believe it in your heart of hearts
If you believe it in your heart of hearts…

Take me back when I believed it
