Breathe,
like you'll never breathe again
Like you really know its over
Like you finally found your friends,
Then...
Laugh,
Like you're coughin' out your heart
Let the lightning split your shoulders
While you're gropin' through the dark,
Then...
Drink,
Like your fallin' off the church
Like you're pissin' off the maggots
Like your fuckin' every girl,
Then...
Cry,
'Cuz it feels so goddamned good
But you won't talk to your neighbors
Can you breathe, really breathe?
Fill your lungs again
One more time, there's no time
To hold it in...
Can you breathe, really breathe?
Step back and breathe
You're still here...
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Think,
Let the stillness take your soul
Be the lake below the glacier
Be as clear with self control,
Then...
Heave,
Let the effort stretch you higher
May you dare to live your epic
And may it forge you in it's fire,
Then...
Dream,
Fall in love with the unknown
But get your boots right on the gravel
And struggle cheerfully alone,
Then...
Breathe,
Take your shadow off the wall...
Take your shadow off the wall...
Can you breathe, really breathe?
Fill your lungs again
One more time, there's no time
To hold it in...
Can you breathe, really breathe?
Step back and breathe
You're still here...
So why are you waiting?
Oh yeah, you've got another chance...
HEY!
HEY!
HEY!
HEY!
So breathe
In the unknown,
And get your boots right on the gravel,
cheerfully alone,
Then...
Cry,
'Cuz it feels so goddamned good
when the salt has lost its savor
Can you breathe, really breathe?
Fill your lungs again
One more time, there's no time
To hold it in...
Can you breathe, really breathe?
Step back and breathe
You're still here...
So why are you waiting?
Oh yeah, you've got another chance...
La
La la la la la
La la
You've got another chance....

La la la la la
La la
You've got another chance...
