Breathing

I think I lost the feeling of being tethered to your life support
I think I only realised after I had left and I was somewhere down the lane
I think I lost the feeling of being tethered to your life support
But now I’m back I feel the oxygen flooding my cold, neglected veins
Now I’m breathing
I don’t really need these lungs no more
‘Cause I’ve been thinking
I’ve never savoured air like this before
This before
Of all the things I thought I’d need to be out on the open field
It didn’t rank so highly on my list
The thought of needles, beds and tubes
A fool would even snuff the prospect out of mind and out of view
But in the aforementioned list
I took the wrong end of the stick
And forced it into gospel truth
But now I’m back I feel the oxygen flooding back inside my frozen shoes
Now I’m breathing
I don’t really need these lungs no more
‘Cause I’ve been thinking
I’ve never savoured air like this before
Now your lungs are all that I need
I breathe in deep and rest
I breathe and rest
I rest
Now I’m breathing
I don’t really need these lungs no more
‘Cause I’ve been thinking
I’ve never savoured air like this before
