09 -Breathe Me Back

[Cold Open – groove hits immediately, breath in the hook] Breathe me back… Breathe me back… [Verse 1 – rhythmic, intimate] I’ve been holding every moment Like it’s made of glass Every word I never said Still living in my past I forgot how quiet feels I forgot my name I’ve been standing in the noise Waiting for a flame [Pre-Chorus – lift, closeness] Every wall I’ve built is shaking Every guard I wear is thin I don’t need to be invincible I just need to feel again [Chorus – bold, chantable, warm] Breathe me back Into my skin Breathe me back Let me in All this world has taken from me You give back Breathe me back [Post-Chorus – hook echo] Breathe me back… Breathe me back… [Verse 2 – opening up] Your hands say what words can’t Every touch a door Every second I’m with you I’m more than I was before I don’t need another signal I don’t need a sign I just need your heartbeat Teaching mine [Pre-Chorus – lift] Every fear I’ve been defending Is starting to let me go I don’t have to be a fortress I can be a home [Chorus – fuller, glowing] Breathe me back Into my skin Breathe me back Let me in All this world has taken from me You give back Breathe me back [Bridge – drop groove, voice forward] Maybe healing isn’t sudden Maybe it’s a hand in mine Maybe every breath together Brings me back in time [Final Chorus – euphoric warmth] Breathe me back I’m here again Breathe me back Where I begin Let the world keep taking I come back Breathe me back [Outro – groove rides, soft close] Breathe me back… Breathe me back…
