I only have thoughts when everbody's talking
For every memory I pick up, there's one I lost
It's putting in the pieces, rolling in new sheets
It's tightening the bolts in all the places that it leaks
In every love story is a part that bores
But the further that you eat the closer you get to the core
I laugh in every movie, cry in every book
When you walk in in that dress, I'm trying hard to steal a look
I once was a boy, and now I'm just an older one
Playing with my toys and looking for some fun
Its cracking all my ribs, and breathing through a tube
Wondering later if my excitement came off rude

And I don't want to die, don't want to get high
Just want to breathe, breathe till I'm full

It's living in a van and stressing about money
Realizing that I'm kind though I wish that I was funny
It's bigger in the middle but still fit as a fiddle
And looking for a god as if she was a giant riddle
It's kissing just because you're sitting next to me
And changing my whole life because a line a poetry

And I don't want to die, don't want to get high
Just want to breathe, breathe till I'm full
So full of this life, so full of this life
Breathe till I'm full, then I'll say goodbye
It's curling up and sleeping on an inch of common ground
And trading mystery for all the things that I have found
It's looking in the mirror and setting judgements free
Wanting to see clearer no matter what there may be
It's trying to let go, trying to let go
It's always trying so damn hard to let go!
It's singing hallelujah though I don't know who it's for
And people knowing my name at my local country store
It's cooking till I'm tired, eating till I sleep
Making autumn fires and swimming out too deep
It's naked bodies dancing with moonlight in their eyes
Keeping my mouth shut so I don't ruin the surprise

And I don't want to die, don't want to get high
Just want to breathe, breathe till I'm full
So full of this life, so full of this life
Breathe till I'm full, then I'll say goodbye
So full of this life, so full of this life
Breathe till I'm full, then I'll say goodbye
