One Last Breath
Second Chances Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But she, she's beautiful
And I'm a nervous wreck
But we both fall like rain
And we both hit the ground the same and break
But soon enough we'll be one drop
And she says to me,
And I say to her,
"Baby, this is killing me"
Just leave me one last breath
And I'll say to you whatever you want me to say
Just leave me one last breath
And I'll say to you everything
She looks better when it's raining
But she, she's still beautiful
And I'm a nervous wreck
But we both fall like rain
And we both hit the ground the same and break
But I'm praying soon we'll be one drop
And she says to me,
"I need you, but I don't know what to do"
And I say to her,
"Baby, this is killing me"
Just leave me one last breath
And I'll say to you whatever you want me to say
Just leave me one last breath
And I'll say to you everything
Just leave me one last breath
And I'll say to you whatever you want me to say
(And I'll be true, I'll be anything you want me to be)
Just leave me one last breath
And I'll say to you everything
