Breathing Room
Vann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(come and drive with me)
The world is too small
And it's hard to find some room
Pay so much for walls around us
And they close in too soon
We all hold for doors to open
We get tired from all the driving
And we break down in stead
But that's not for you
'Cause you're part of my plan
Throw the things that you're in love with
In the back of my van
And we'll just drive off to somewhere
We'd both rather be
Say that life's about the journey
Come and drive it with me
'Cause I finally found my space
Come ride with me I've got some breathing room now
For the world's a better place
'Cause I finally found my space
I've got some breathing room now (got some breathing room now)
For you and me
I've got sunshine but once there was a grey
Got some money in my pocket
I put some more away
I've got my hands on the wheel
For the first time I see
That this life's about the journey
Come and drive it with me
'Cause I finally found my space
Come ride with me I've got some breathing room now
For the world's a better place
'Cause I finally found my space
I've got some breathing room now (got some breathing room now)
For you and me
A night on the road
Cruisin' in the moonlight
When we're together
Everything feels so right
Just like we're driving in a universe of two
Tonight
So just kick back (relax)
And watch the world go by
Feel your worries disappearing
When you get by my side
And crank that stereo way up
And kickers into drive
'Cause this life's about the journey
And we're feeling alive
'Cause I finally found my space
Come ride with me I've got some breathing room now
For the world's a better place
'Cause I finally found my space
I've got some breathing room now (got some breathing room now)
For you and me
'Cause I finally found my space
Come ride with me I've got some breathing room now
For the world's a better place
'Cause I finally found my space
I've got some breathing room now (got some breathing room now)
For you and me
Finally found my space
I've got some breathing room now
Right here
For you and me
In "Breathing Room," Vann expresses a sense of feeling trapped and suffocated in a world that feels too small. The reference to walls closing in suggests a feeling of being constrained and limited by societal expectations and constraints. The desire for open doors symbolizes the longing for opportunities and a place to find solace. The exhaustion from constant driving and the eventual breakdown represents the strain and fatigue one can experience from trying to meet the demands and expectations of others.
However, amidst this frustration, Vann presents a sense of liberation through the metaphor of driving in a van. The invitation to throw away the things one loves and escape to somewhere more desirable signifies a break from the confines of society's expectations. The journey becomes the focus and embodiment of life itself. Vann invites the listener to join on this journey and experience a sense of freedom and breathing room, away from the pressures of the world.
The lyrics also touch on personal growth and positive changes. Vann mentions overcoming obstacles, such as the transition from grey to sunshine and having money saved. This suggests a sense of stability and newfound control over one's life. The realization that life is about the journey, rather than the destination, highlights the importance of enjoying the present moment and finding joy in the experiences along the way.
The last part of the song emphasizes the enjoyment of being together and the sense of unity as a couple. The moonlit night on the road symbolizes a romantic and intimate escape from the world. The lyrics suggest that when they are together, everything feels right, as if driving in their own little universe. The invitation to relax, forget about worries, and crank up the stereo creates a care-free atmosphere. Ultimately, Vann conveys a message of finding personal space, both physically and emotionally, and traveling with a loved one to find liberation and joy in the journey.

The place to rest our heads
A place where we can find solace and peace
We get tired from all the driving

But you are an exception to this cycle
'Cause you're part of my plan
Because you are an integral part of my vision for the future
Throw the things that you're in love with
