Take A Breath
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take a breath
Take a deep breath now
Take a breath
A deep breath now
Take a breath
When you're down is where you find yourself
When you drown there's nothing else
(And) If you're lost you'll need to turn yourself
Then you'll find out there's no-one else
To make the moves that you can do
When you fall from grace your eyes in blue
Your every breath becomes another world
And the far horizon's living hell
Take a breath
A deep breath now
This kind of love is hard to find
I never got to you by being kind
If I'm the one to throw you overboard
At least I showed you how to swim for shore
When you're down is where you'll know yourself
That if you drown there's nothing else
When you're lost you need to find yourself
Then you'll find out there's no-one else
