Between Two Lungs (Live BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall / 2024)

Between two lungs, it was released
The breath that carried me
The sigh that blew me forward

'Cause it was trapped, trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs

And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming, "We are all too young to die"

Between two lungs, it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
Flew between us as we slept
Slipped from your mouth into mine, it crept
Between two lungs, it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
Flew between us as we slept
Slipped from your mouth into mine, it crept

'Cause it was trapped, trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs

Gone are the days of begging, the days of theft
No more gasping for a breath
The air has filled me head to toe
And I can see the ground far below
I have this breath and I hold it tight
And I keep it in my lungs with all my might
I pray to God this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips, as I gasp
Gasp

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
