[Verse 1] I don't always know where I'm going And I don't mean that in the broad sense Sometimes I might be walking down an aisle And it takes a while to remember where I'm at. Thoughts firing off back to back, at a rapid pace They aren't always cohesive, no care for the way I'm struggling right now just to breath My chest is compressed, it's always burning. (hold) Like I'm holding my breath, waiting for relief An idea of something I can never quite reach They say it's generalized anxiety Tag the toe of my chronic malady Like somehow that'll hold it back Like a proper introduction's what we lacked And if we just knew each other better It would shatter the chains of these heavy fetters [Chorus] Sometimes I need to breathe Just breath not talk to anyone Under the sun So that it's just my swirling thoughts an me Cause sometimes the exercises They don't stop this, They gotta run their course til' they relent So I can come up for air Just so they can drag me down again [Verse 2] And now I've gotten used to it I don't try to fight it so much I just watch from the back Decide how I'll act (While all my memories replay) Believe me I'm watching you closely not cause I want to but it is a part of me, noticing every tick, every slip, every smile So I can wonder at just what it might mean for a while. I'm finding it's now a past time of sorts A little game that the two of us play as as cohortCause no matter how I'd like to deny (yeah, yeah) That this thing and I aren't similar, we are, it and I. It's shaped who I am, even as a child (I look back) See these tendencies surfacing all the while Wondering just what's wrong with humanity Why is it they don't seem to see all this beauty around [Yell]For fuck's sake! Just! Look! [Chorus] Sometimes I just need to breathe Find a quiet place to retreat Sit in my cave, turn every page And pour over every single word in my head And it might sound absurd It wouldn't be the first time I've heard that But no matter what I've tried it won't hold back So I guess we're just friends, you and I (for now) [Abridged Chorus] Sometimes I just need to breathe Sometimes I just need to breathe [Abridged Chorus] Sometimes I just need to breathe Sometimes I just need to breathe Sometimes I just... need to.... [Bridge] The more familiar we get The more I have to admit (It's on to something) The attention to detail The way ideas prevail And shake all I know Even if it's just to shake my soul It can be inspiring [Abridged Chorus] Sometimes I just need to breathe Sometimes I just need to breathe Sometimes I just... need to.... [Abridged Chorus] Sometimes I just need to breathe Sometimes I just need to breathe Sometimes I just... need to.... [Abridged Chorus] Sometimes I just need to breathe Sometimes I just need to breathe Sometimes I just... need to.... [Instrumental Outro]
