The Muddle - Breathe Lyrics

When the night sits heavy on my chest
Carrying the weight of all the past days and the next
And every breath feels like acid on my lungs
Show me the safety in the still
Show me the beauty in the small
Give me your special oxygen

Be my ventilator
Be my inspirator
When it all piles up on me
The only thing I really need
Is you to help me breathe

Looking back I guess we both were fools
Always confusing expectations for the rules
Believing all the possibilities and fantasies of a child
And I can't tell you everything will be OK
But I'm in too deep to ever just walk away
And I don't need you to solve everything
Just lay with me awhile and...

Be my ventilator
Be my inspirator
When it all piles up on me
The only thing I really need
Is you to help me breathe

Close the door
Dim the lights
Turn off the day
No need to think tonight
Lay with me
Silently
On my chest
So you can breathe with me

Hold me back
Pull me in
My heart beats slower
When I touch your skin
Slow my mind
Still my brain
Shut out the noise
Until I can breathe again
