Backwards Breathing

Don't have to pretend you're happy
Don't have to pretend you like me
I know it feels like nobody has your back
I know it feels like you feel nothing at all
Calm down

When you've done all your running, love
I hope you find your way back to me
Do you know what you're waiting for?
We might not be here tomorrow

Can there be no other way around it?
Pick yourself off of that floor
Why are we here on the bottom of the ocean?

You're not in a building on fire
Oh, why are you so out of breath?
You're not off the hook
You're no longer required

And I need a shot of adrenaline
Why are we still on the fence?
You're not off the hook
You're not off the hook yet
If you believe it in your heart of hearts
Why does it still feel like being torn apart?
You're not off the hook
You're not off the hook yet

And if we're leaving here tomorrow
Where we even here today?
Was I never meant to hold you?
Was it never meant to be?

By midnight tomorrow
When our souls are flying free
Was I never meant to know you?
Was it never meant to be?

You're not in a building on fire
Oh why are you still out of breath?
You're not off the hook
You're no longer required

And I need a shot of adrenaline
Why are we still on the fence?
You're not off the hook
You're not off the hook at all
You're not off the hook
You're not off the hook yet

If you believe it in your heart of hearts
Why does it still feel like being torn apart?
If you believe it in your heart of hearts
If you believe it in your heart of hearts

Take me back when I believed it
Take me back when I believed it
