Just Breathe
The Writing Camp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I missing my train? How am I getting there?
Don't know where it goes, but I know it's meant for me.
Yeah, am I gonna fall down if I miss a step?
Don't wanna live life chasing my regrets.
I know I'll always have my home to go back to.
I can't hold my breath forever,
Sick and tired of stormy weather,
Lift this weight off me.
If I just breathe;
And I let go, 'cause there's no hold on me.
If I just breathe;
And I jump in, 'cause the water ain't that deep.
If I just breathe;
And I let go, 'cause there's no hold on me.
If I just breathe;
And I jump in, 'cause the water ain't that deep.
If I just breathe
(Breathe, breathe, breathe)
If I just breathe
(Breathe, breathe, breathe)
I pray and drive, no I'm not the first.
Don't know what's ahead, life is unrehearsed.
The curtain opens and I'm ready for the spotlight.
I can't hold my breath forever,
But I know it's now or never.
Sick and tired of stormy weather,
Lift this weight off me.
If I just breathe;
And I let go, 'cause there's no hold on me.
If I just breathe;
And I jump in, 'cause the water ain't that deep.
If I just breathe;
And I let go, 'cause there's no hold on me.
If I just breathe;
And I jump in, 'cause the water ain't that deep.
Don't care how long it takes me.
Nothing's gonna break me down or clip my wings,
'Cause I'll be standing tall, I'll rise above it all.
No stopping me (there's no stopping me).
There's no looking back, I finally found my pack;
And all I have to do is not forget.
If I just breathe;
And I let go, 'cause there's no hold on me.
If I just breathe;
And I jump in, 'cause the water ain't that deep.
If I just breathe;
And I let go, 'cause there's no hold on me.
If I just breathe;
And I jump in, 'cause the water ain't that deep.
If I just breathe
(Breathe]) [echo x4
The Writing Camp’s “Just Breathe” is an uplifting and motivational song with lyrics that provide a sense of reassurance in the face of uncertainty. The singer reflects on the choices they’ve made in life and wonders where they’re headed next. They acknowledge the risks of falling and regrets that come with chasing dreams, but at the same time know that they can always come back to a place of familiarity. The song’s central message is to not get bogged down by fear and to take a leap of faith, reminding us that sometimes the water is shallow enough to jump into and that we can find the strength to stand tall and rise above it all.
The lyrics speak to a universal experience of doubt and anxiety that everyone goes through in life. We all have moments when we feel lost and unsure of ourselves, but this song conveys the message that we can find our way if we just take a deep breath and trust ourselves. The references to the yellow brick road and missing trains add to the sense of uncertainty and risk, but also evoke a classic sense of adventure and possibility.
