Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Between two lungs, it was released
The breath that carried me
The sigh that blew me forward
[Chorus]
'Cause it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
[Verse 2]
And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming
We are all too young to die
[Verse 3]
Between two lungs, it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
It flew between us as we slept
It slipped from your mouth
Into mine, it crept
[Verse 4]
Between two lungs, it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
It flew between us as we slept
It slipped from your mouth
Into mine, it crept
[Chorus]
'Cause it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
[Bridge]
Gone are the days of begging
The days of theft
No more gasping for a breath
The air has filled me head to toe
And I can see the ground far below
[Outro]
I have this breath and I hold it tight
And I keep it in my chest with all my might
I pray to God this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips as I
Gasp
Gasp
