Breathless
jonah's onelinedrawing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How could I be happy on a day like today
When I can't even breathe
I should put myself away and run
How could I feel lucky gettin' what I just received
Took it in the ass
All that gravel and broken glass
Those are scars that last
Does this make it over? I know.
Come down, breathless heather -- I know
Soggy little nothings, that's all they really are
Rotted too long in there
Better give them all some air
They're just lies
I have told a couple
Now that's a lie right there, I've told so many more
But I'm not keeping score
God, I love your smile




Does this make it over? I know.
Come down, breathless heather -- I know
