Just Breathe
Lukas Nelson Willie 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" is a heartfelt reflection on the fragility of life and the importance of love and connection. The lyrics acknowledge the inevitability of death, but also express gratitude for the people in one's life. The opening lines set the tone for the overall theme of the song, as the singer acknowledges that death is an unavoidable part of life. He then reflects on the people in his life, feeling fortunate to have loving relationships with many people, while recognizing that others are not so fortunate. The chorus expresses a desire to hold onto the moment, to stay connected with the people he loves, and simply breathe.
The second verse of the song explores the singer's relationship with someone he cares deeply about, possibly a romantic partner. He reflects on his flaws and the things that might cause him to hurt her, but also acknowledges the many positive aspects of life that make him want to hold on to her. The third verse is a direct address to this person, confessing his love and gratitude for all she has given him.
The song's overall message is one of appreciation for life and the people we share it with. It encourages us to focus on the present moment, to cherish the relationships we have, and to remember that love and connection are what truly matter in life.

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
