Just Breathe
Lukas Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw-huh,
Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands
The ones I love,
Some folks just have one,
Yeah, others, they've got none, huh-uh
Let's just breathe.
Practiced are my sins,
Never gonna let me win, aw-huh,
Under everything, just another human being, aw-huh,
Yeah, I don't wanna hurt her, there's so much in this world
To make me believe.
Stay with me,
You're all I see.
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see,
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean.
I wonder everyday
As I look upon your face, aw-huh,
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, aw huh
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
Did I say that I need you?
Oh, did I say that I want you?
Or if I didn't I'm a fool you see,
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean, ah
Nothing you would take,
Everything you gave.
Love you till I die,
Meet you on the other side.
The song "Just Breathe" by Lukas Nelson portrays the acceptance of the inevitability of death as the singer acknowledges that every life must end. The song's verses are tinged with sadness, but the chorus gives a feeling of peace and hope despite the fear of losing someone you love. The singer is lucky enough to have people he loves and has counted them, while others may have no one at all. The desire to share life's moments with loved ones is so important that he pleads with his loved one to stay with him and just breathe.
The songwriter highlights that although he is human, his sins might stop him from achieving his dreams. He does not want to hurt his loved one, and he finds it hard to make sense of this world. He wonders if he ever vocalized his yearning for his loved one, but he knows he needs her. He appreciates the care, respect, and selflessness that his loved one has shown him, and he prays to love her until he dies.
In summary, "Just Breathe" by Lukas Nelson is a song about cherishing the people we love, acknowledging the inevitability of death, and cherishing every moment we have with our loved ones.

I buried my Dad today.
Tonight I play this, for a long time Willie Nelson fan.
He would sing Always on my mind for his Dad's memory.
Thank You Willie, for a heartfelt song I can remember my Daddy too. xx
