breath of your life

Daryl Hall - John Oates

I can read between the lonely lines
every single word brings a tear to my eye
tell me how did we get here
and where did heaven go

i remember us as strong as stone
now i see the cracks breaking up a home
and a future filled with fear
but i won't surrender no
we can make it through the fire
i won't lay it down and die
i will be the air, if you are out of breath
and out of time

-chorus-
baby don't it feel right
don't you know why
won't you say what it is
why you just can't see what's going on
i'll be the breath of your life

see the way the wind blows
no matter how it goes
i'm the air that you need
if you're out of breath and out of time
i'll be the breath of your life
baby, no no we ain't out of time
I don't want to go around again
passionate lover turning into friend
i don't want to be back there
let that heaven go
explain the things you really need
i can make it happen if you talk to me

though i cannot read your mind
i can get into your soul
we could make it through the fire
i won't lie down and die
i will be the air if you are out of breath and out of time

-repeat chorus-
See the way the wind blows
no matter how it goes
i'm the air that you need
if you're out of breath and out of time
i'll be the breath of your life
baby, no no we ain't out of time
Are you feeling like you're drowning
are you choking?
and you just don't know what to do
well i can help you make it through
am i the one to save it?

i really think that we could do this
get through this
don't doubt it, think about it
be sure you can depend on me
let me be the air that you breathe
- repeat chorus-
