Breath
The Leaves Lyrics

The first verse of The Leaves's song "Breath" suggests that the singer wants someone to join them on a journey. The singer speaks directly to the listener, inviting them to come along and states that they are always on their mind. The second line implies that the journey may not be a physical one, but rather a metaphorical or emotional one. The third line could suggest that others might not understand the depth of their connection or might judge them if they were to go public with their relationship. However, the fourth line suggests that this might have been part of their plan all along. It could suggest that they enjoy the thrill of keeping their relationship a secret or that they have nefarious intentions.

The second verse of the song shifts to a more sensual tone. The candle-lit room creates a romantic ambiance, and the lyrics imply that the two partners might be engaging in sexual activities. The "sex in disguise" line suggests that their attraction may be hidden or forbidden in some way, and they must express their physical attraction in secret. The third line invites the partner to lie down next to the singer, and the fourth line suggests that they taste each other passionately. The final line, "then hold me next to none," implies that this connection is unique and incomparable to anyone else.

Overall, the song appears to describe a relationship that is kept a secret from the rest of the world. The reason for this secrecy is not entirely clear, but the lyrics suggest that it may add to the excitement of their connection.
