[Verse 1]
Baby, help me, I feel empty
It's like there's something wrong with me
I can't shake the thought of drowning
I swallowed water in my sleep
[Chorus]
I can't leave again
Time is something we don't have
Lay with me, my friend
Let me breathe you in
If I could I would stop the whole world
To grow old with you and die in this moment
[Post-Chorus]
Let me breathe you in
Let me breathe you in
[Verse 2]
I see your face in everything
A fleeting memory of where I want to be
I roll your hair between my fingertips
But that won't make it real
[Refrain]
I was never scared of dying alone
Until I knew what it was like to have a home
[Chorus]
I can't leave again
Time is something we don't have
Lay with me, my friend
Let me breathe you in
If I could I would stop the whole world
To grow old with you and die in this moment
[Refrain]
I was never scared of dying alone
Until I knew what it was like to have a home
I was never scared of dying alone
Until I knew what it was like to have a home
[Chorus]
I can't leave again
Time is something we don't have
Lay with me, my friend
Let me breathe you in
If I could I would stop the whole world
To grow old with you and die in this moment
[Post-Chorus]
Let me breathe you in
Let me breathe you in
