Breathing Lyrics by Ed O’Brien

2020

[Verse 1]
I’ve been talking to my ghost
Telling them the story
How my closest friends are forced
They just say I’m lonely then they go
Where do they go
Where do they go

[Verse 2]
And I’ve been waiting for a sign
I’ve been waiting all my life
A drink will pass the time
Hope that I’m not waiting anymore
I wanna go
I wanna go

[Chorus]
We didn’t build these walls but we’ll climb them
If I lose my way I will find it
Though my eyes may close I’m not blind
I won’t let go
No I’m not letting go

[Verse 3]
I’ve been talking to my ghost
Telling them the story
That they already know
They all took the high road long ago
I wanna go I wanna go

[Chorus]
We didn’t build these walls but we’ll climb them
If I lose my way I will find it
Though my eyes may close I’m not blind
I won’t let go
No I’m not letting go

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
‘Cause I can see you breathing
Do believe me

[Bridge]
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
‘Cause I can see you breathing
Don’t leave me

[Conclusion]
I’ve been talking to my ghost
(Hold on, hold on, hold on)

Telling them the story
How my closest friends are forced
(‘Cause I can see you breathing)

They just say I’m lonely and they go
Where do they go
(Don’t leave me)

Where do they go

And I’ve been waiting for a sign
(Hold on, hold on, hold on)

I’ve been waiting all my life
A drink will pass the time
(‘Cause I can see you breathing)

Hope that I’m not waiting anymore
I wanna go
(Don’t leave me)

I wanna go
