Lyrics

I played the fool today
And I just dream of vanishing into the crowd
Longing for home again
But home is a feeling I buried in you
I'm alright, I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
And I can't ask for things to be still again
No, I can't ask if I could walk through the world in your eyes
Longing for home again
But home is a feeling I buried in you
I'm alright, I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
I'm alright, I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
My window through which nothing hides
And everything sings
I'm counting the signs
And cursing the miles in between
Home, home is a feeling I buried in you
That I buried in you
I'm alright, I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
I'm alright, I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
When I breathe
Yeah, it only hurts when I breathe
When I breathe
Oh, it only hurts when I breathe
