Breathe
Stick Figure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, so here we are
Beneath the moon the rising sun and stars
It's a brand new day, it's a brand new start
To greet the world it's just me and my guitar
When you feel alone, when you feel afraid
Don't hesitate to call my name
'Cause I'll be there, be there for you
'Cause I'll be there when you're feeling blue

Breathe and take it in
Breathe, take it in
Breathe and take it in
Breathe, take it in

From the hillside and to the seas
From the mountains to the trees
There this place I long to be
And if I asked you, would you come with me?
Well I don't care what they say
I'd leave it all behind and move away
Won't you help me make my dreams come true
Won't you love me like I love you

Breathe and take it in
Breathe, take it in
Breathe and take it in
Breathe, take it all in

It's so easy lovin' you
Why do you make it so hard to do?
It's so easy lovin' you
Why do you make it so hard to do?
So hard to do
So hard to do
So hard to do
So hard to do
So hard to do
So hard to do
So hard to do
So hard to do

Can yo hear me, can you feel me?
It's alright, well if you only knew




Won't you hold me, won't you love me
Oh I'm still loving you, oh why?

We just saw an amazing stick figure show in Seattle. We discovered stick figure last summer, when they were the only medicine that worked for us. We lost our dog Maggie in a long, painful death. We were crushed. It hurt to breathe. Too many memories at home, so we'd just drive around in the car listening to stick figure for hours every day/night. It was the only medicine that worked. Gradually over weeks, it didn't hurt quite as much to be at home. We still miss our sweet Maggie, but it's mellowed into good memories and love. I think stick figure works well for grief, because there's both beauty and melancholy in the songs. It doesn't pretend that life doesn't hurt, but helps embrace the hurt into the beauty. Thank you stick figure.
