Breathe

A friend I had once told me
Such an unusual story
Of a man who did breathe in but never did breathe out
This tale reminds me of you
Though a different shade of blue
You cannot always take and never give this is not how to live
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
Though I don't know this for sure
Just another knock at my door
A sprinkling of an inkling underneath an apple tree
I'll tell you when I find out
And show you what it is to breathe out
A natural progression lesson messin' up your mind
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
I feel in you another way to be
I watch as you breathe over me
I'm breathing
Like a tale on jackanory
The end to this unusual story is
A breath upon a window payne so com'on step out of the rain
Though I'd like to think this were true
You've become a deeper shade of blue
In my eyes this comes as no surprise you've nothing left to give no
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
