Sunlight peaking through The ceiling windows of your apartment I barely slept at all And I don’t ever want to get up Cigarette smoke, still drunk from the night before And pretty soon I’ll be on a train back I try and focus on the wind beneath the track So I don’t look back
You’re taking all of the air out my lungs Breathless, breathless Distance, won’t you disappear Until then I’ll be here waiting forever
Breathless, breathless
My heartbeat, my heartbeat Loud enough to hear if somebody just speaks your name And I’m so damn tired But I would run right back to you if you need me to Hold on, hold on, hold on
You’re taking all of the air out of my lungs Breathless, breathless Distance, won’t you disappear Until then I’ll be here waiting forever
And maybe we should just run away Pack up and leave this place Don’t need anything but you Forever we’ll be this way Distance, won’t you disappear Until then I’ll be here waiting forever
All the clouds knew me by name Like to darken most my days And I was sitting there patiently Nearly half asleep till you came for me Nearly half asleep till you came for me Nearly half asleep till you came for me
All the clouds knew me by name Like to darken most my days
Breathless
Would it be the sun or the sky That brings me back to you Would it be heaven or angels Or hell, oh these fables that drag me back to you And drag me back to you And drag me back to you
