Seconds to Breathe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know this hurts me inside to talk about
I've been losing sleep for days
I can't get you out of my head.
Everything you said to me,
The fire in your eyes
The time you layed next to me
And told me that everything's all right.
I am here now, and I am ready.

It took so long but I finally found who I am
And where I belong.
And I promise you (and I promise)
The things I need
Are the things I see in you.

I know these are selfish thoughts.
So what?
I always want what I can't have
Still I'm longing for your touch
Longing for the day just to see this world with you.
Tell me what you're waiting for
I'm right in front of you
I am here now.
Are you ready?

It took so long but I finally found who I am and where I belong.
And I promise you (and I promise)
The things I need
Are the things I see in you
The things I see in you

I am here now, I am ready.
I am here now, are you ready?
Are you ready…

It took so long but I finally found who I am and where I belong.
And I promise you (and I promise)
The things I need
Are the things I see in you.

The things I see in you
The things I see in

The singer recalls the intimate moments they shared with this person - the fire in their eyes, the time they laid next to each other and everything being alright. Despite acknowledging that these thoughts and desires are selfish, the singer admits to longing for the person's touch and wanting to see the world with them. The song ends with the singer declaring that they have finally found who they are and where they belong after a long journey and the things they need are the things they see in the person they adore.

I know this hurts me inside to talk about
I am aware that speaking about this causes me emotional pain

I've been losing sleep for days
I have been suffering from insomnia for days due to this

I can't get you out of my head.
I cannot stop thinking about you

Everything you said to me,
Every word you said to me

The fire in your eyes
The passion in your eyes

I am present now and prepared

It took so long but I finally found who I am
It took a while, but I discovered my true identity

And where I belong.
I found where I fit perfectly

And I promise you (and I promise)
I give you my word
