Just breathe
Remember to breathe
Just breathe...
Verse 1:
All around me, everywhere
Seems like nothing but despair
Confusion, disillusion
Hanging in the air
Global melancholy smears
A stain across the sky
Somewhere right now someone's crying
And I just don't know why
Chorus:
But I gotta believe
That this ain't the end of the road
It's all a bad dream
Until you believe
And you gotta know
The story is still to be told
Just breathe
Remember to breathe
Verse 2:
I kept my four leaf clover
Clutched tightly in my hand
The things I thought were useful
I just don't understand (I don't understand)
So I clicked my heels a thousand times
And opened my eyes
I just don't know why
(Don't know whyyyy, I can't breathe
Don't know whyyyy, I can't breathe)
With all that's going on around me
I just don't know why or
How my heart remembers
To keep on lookin' t'ward the sky
But you gotta believe
That this ain't the end of the road
(It's gonna be alright)
It's all a bad dream
(What you see)
Until you believe
(Gotta believe)
And you gotta know
(You gotta know)
The story is still to be told
(Still to be told)
Just breathe
Remember to breathe
You gotta believe, (gotta believe) that this ain't the end of the road, it's gonna be alright it's all a bad dream (can't you see)
Until you believe (gotta believe) and you gotta know, (you gotta know) the story is still to be told (still being told) just breathe, remember to breathe, (remember to breathe)
Breathe, gotta believe me, (gotta believe me) breathe (gotta believe, gotta believe) ouu, ouu, ouu----ouu, ouu, ouu, ouu, ouu, ouu
It's gonna be alright... Euu, ouu, ouu (remember to breathe) hey yea... everything is gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright, yea yea remember to breathe, remember to breathe yea, (gotta believe me)
Fade out...
