Breathe

I played the fool today
And I just dream of vanishing into the crowd
Longing for home again
But home
Is a feeling I buried in you
I'm alright I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
And I can't ask for things to be still again
No I can't ask if I could walk though the world
In your eyes
Longing for home again
But home
Is a feeling I buried in you
I'm alright I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
My window through which nothing hides
And everything sings
I'm counting the signs
And cursing the miles in between
Oh
And home is a feeling I buried in you
That I buried in you
I'm alright I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
