[Verse 1] I left the house before the heat Could press its thumb on me The screen door sighed like it knew my name But not the one I need A carton of milk, a cracked blue mug A key in a coat I don't wear The sun sat low in the laundry wires And pulled my thoughts out there [Pre-Chorus] I keep asking what this means When the mirror blurs my face If I’m only made of habit Why do I still crave a place [Chorus] Give me room to breathe Give me room to breathe I’m not a machine I’m a question with a pulse Give me room to breathe Give me room to breathe If the road keeps changing Let it change me too [Verse 2] My father talked in kitchen truths All ash and Bible light My mother wore her worry thin And folded it each night I watched the years stack up like plates Then vanish when they fell Now every answer I once held Feels like a broken shell [Pre-Chorus] Still I hear that old soft call From behind the oil-stained glass Saying every door that opens Has to leave the frame at last [Chorus] Give me room to breathe Give me room to breathe I’m not a machine I’m a question with a pulse Give me room to breathe Give me room to breathe If the road keeps changing Let it change me too [Bridge] [Slow build] I chased the gold inside the clock Found dust instead of fire But dust can turn the morning brown And feed the climbing briar So let the doubts come in a wave Let them crash and lose their teeth I’ve been a closed-up clenched-up fist I want to become relief [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Now I stand where the gravel ends And watch the river split One branch runs to the work I know One drifts where I can't sit Maybe meaning is not a wall But the space between the stone Maybe life is not the final word But learning how to roam [Chorus] Give me room to breathe Give me room to breathe I’m not a machine I’m a question with a pulse Give me room to breathe Give me room to breathe If the road keeps changing Let it change me too [Outro] Let it change me Let it change me I can hear it now Let it change me
