Breathe

In the middle of this open road Old Chevy up in smoke My life was burning to the ground Pulled up in her daddy’s car Looking like a work of art Said get inside before I change my mind Drove for a million miles Stop to rest every once in a while Just two young lovers on the run She pulled me from the wreckage with all my imperfections if you ask me what I need I say lord I need her to breathe Put the air back in my lungs There’s a darkness in my eyes Needs the morning sun I need her to move Take me to the edge Cause My life is standing still If you can raise the dead Finally landed in Tennessee Where I got down on one knee Now shes walking down the isle Looked in my nervous eyes Said hurry before I change my mind So I read these simple lines You pulled me from the wreckage with all my imperfections if you ask me what I need I say baby I need you to breathe Put the air back in my lungs There’s a darkness in my eyes Need the morning sun I need you to move Take me to the edge Cause My life is standing still If you can raise the dead That night we hit the open road Still dressed In our wedding clothes Ive never felt so happy in my life Next thing the sound of broken glass I woke up lying in the grass There lying next to me is my new perfect bride And I looked to the sky I said I need her to breathe Put the air back in her lungs There’s a darkness in her eyes Need the morning sun I need her to move This can’t be the end Cause My life is standing still you can raise the dead Oh breathe oh I need you to breathe baby breathe baby breathe I need her to move Take me to the edge Cause My life is standing still If you can raise the dead In the middle of this open road passed a Chevy up in smoke and I that god your still by my side.
