I Can Barely Breathe

Front seat telephone conversations
Then we sat quiet, thought racing
The point I’m making is we are not set things
Forever is a childish dream
Front seat, static hum on the station
All my mistakes filled up the space, but
Emma says I’m getting real good at the small things
Looking up at life
But I know that she’s lying ‘cause
No blood’s red with the wrong love
A simple suture in the pseudonym of long-drawn time
The lie is we were alive once
In a world so gone
Front seat, heavy rain in the headlights
Still we sat and fought through the night ‘cause
Emma says it’s better to be wrong than be lonely
She’s the former and it’s always to control me
Rest alone and alone we stay
Sever the endeavor if forever is the only way
I can barely breathe
I can’t watch you leave here
Face the sky afar
Love is the lonely star hanging over us
Do what we must
I can barely breathe
I can’t watch you leave again
«Don't be scared,» Emma says with a quick grin
She’s the calling and I’m choking on my words ‘cause
I’ve never been alone like this in the arms of a restless love
I don’t want to go, but I really don’t know if I can make it to the morning
I can barely breathe
I can’t watch you leave here
Face the sky afar
Love is the lonely star hanging over us
Do what we must
I can barely breathe
I can’t watch you leave again
I can barely breathe (I can barely breathe)
I can barely breathe (I can barely breathe)
I can barely breathe
I can’t watch you leave here
I can barely breathe (I can barely breathe)
I can barely breathe (I can barely breathe)
I can barely breathe
I can’t watch you leave
