[Verse 1]
Sing me a song
Lend me a rhyme
Pass the time of day
Make me a truth
Play with my mind
While my time away
For what it’s worth
I didn’t ask
I only willed your heart to make it last
[Chorus]
Breathe
Remember what it’s like to lay back
Remember what it’s like to lay back
Breathe
Remember what it’s like to lay back
Remember what it’s like to lay back
[Verse 2]
Soft as you walk
Day after day
Keep your Manna clean
Watch as you sleep
Fighting your dreams
In your world unseen
Run for the hills
Run for your life
Make your escape
Make to the skies
[Chorus]
Breathe
Remember what it’s like to lay back
Remember what it’s like to lay back
Breathe
Remember what it’s like to lay back
Remember what it’s like to lay back
[Bridge]
Here we’re standing hand to heart
I can feel the change
There’s a fire we need to start
From your love and pain
Here we’re standing hand to heart
I can feel the change
There’s a fire we need to start
From your love and pain
[Chorus]
Breathe
Remember what it’s like to lay back
Remember what it’s like to lay back
Breathe
Remember what it’s like to lay back
Remember what it’s like to lay back
[Outro]
Run for the hills
Run for your life
Make your escape
Make to the skies
Run for the hills
Run for your life
Make your escape
Make to the skies
Remember what it’s like to lay back
