Fresh Air
Stumbling around
With my eyes closed
I never found love at all
Until I read
The cryptics on the wall
They lead me to your door
My heart hit the floor
Slip the key under the mat
And I’ll be back some day.
Should I stay
Or should I go
I need to know
I need to know
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Nothing ever
Remains the same
Why should life stand still
While fear and pain linger on
Should I stay
Or should I go
I need to know
I need to know
Give me the word and I’ll move on
I’ll move along
I’ll move along
I didn’t cause your pain
But I know how a heart breaks
And I can feel the body’s ache.
When the earth trembles
And shakes.
Give me the key to your heart.
And I’ll promise to keep it safe.
It’s time for a subject change
Let’s rearrange
Our spoken words
And silent refrains
Pinned to our chests
Too painful to confess
It makes me so damn nervous
I can’t catch
My breath.
Give me your heart
Inhale
Exhale
Let’s learn just to breathe
Give me your heart
Breathe in
Breathe out
Let’s learn just to breathe
Fresh Air
And we’ll blow
Our troubles
Away
