[Verse 1]
Sunlight peaking through
The ceiling windows of your apartment
I barely slept at all
And I don't ever want to get up
Cigarette smoke, still drunk from the night before
And pretty soon I’ll be on a train back
I try to focus on the wind beneath the track
So I don't look back
(So I don't look back)

[Chorus]
You’re taking all of the air out my lungs
Breathless, breathless
Distance, won't you disappear?
Until then I'll be here waiting forever

[Refrain]
Breathless, breathless

[Verse 2]
My heartbeat, my heartbeat
Loud enough to hear if somebody just speaks your name
And I'm so damn tired
But I would run right back to you if you need me to
Hold on, hold on, hold on
[Chorus]
You're taking all of the air out of my lungs
Breathless, breathless
Distance, won't you disappear?
Until then I'll be here waiting forever
And maybe we should just run away
Pack up and leave this place
Don't need anything but you
Forever we’ll be this way
Distance, won’t you disappear?
Until then I'll be here waiting forever

[Bridge]
All the clouds knew me by name
Like to darken most my days
And I was sitting there patiently
Nearly half asleep ’til you came for me
Nearly half asleep 'til you came for me
Nearly half asleep 'til you came for me
All the clouds knew me by name
Like to darken most my days
All the clouds knew me by name
Like to darken most my days

[Refrain]
Breathless
[Outro]
Would it be the sun or the sky
That brings me back to you?
Would it be heaven or angels
Or hell, oh, these fables that drag me back to you?
And drag me back to you
And drag me back to you
