Holdin' to Your Breath

I had a dream where you took my love away
You were trying on the phone like a high school play
You confessed your love to me through symbols and text
But to me you’re still my prepubescent ex
And dreams don’t tell you darling
That you’re still dreaming away
Anything that you’re feeling
Gets erased anyways
And in the morning
You’re hungover with regret
Still shaking from the set
Still holdin' to your breath
I catch myself starting up a sweat
Gripping tight to your skin wishing we had never met
You walk right in my mouth with the comfort and deny
Picking up the shrapnel with a sense of pride
And dreams don’t tell you darling
That you’re still dreaming away
Anything that you’re feeling
Gets erased anyways
And in the morning
You’re hungover with regret
Still shaking from the set
Still holdin' to your breath
I had a dream where you took my love away
You were trying on the phone like a high school play
You confessed your love to me through symbols and text
But to me you’re still my prepubescent ex
