U2 - Breathe lyrics

rate me

16th of June, nine 0 five, door bell rings

Man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit longer

There's a few things I need you to know. Three

Coming from a long line of travelling sales people

on my mother's side

I wasn't gonna buy just anyone's cockatoo

So why would I invite a complete stranger into my home

Would you?

These days are better than that

These days are better than that

Every day I die again, and again I'm reborn

Every day I have to find the courage

To walk out into the street

With arms out

Got a love you can't defeat

Neither down or out

There's nothing you have that I need

I can breathe

Breathe now

16th of June, Chinese stocks are going up

And I'm coming down with some new Asian virus

Ju Ju man, Ju Ju man

Doc says you're fine, or dying

Please

Nine 0 nine, St John Divine, on the line, my pulse is fine

But I'm running down the road like loose electricity

While the band in my head plays a striptease

The roar that lies on the other side of silence

The forest fire that is fear so deny it

Walk out into the street

Sing your heart out

The people we meet

Will not be drowned out

There's nothing you have that I need

I can breathe

Breathe now

Yeah, yeah

We are people borne of sound

The songs are in our eyes

Gonna wear them like a crown

Walk out, into the sunburst street

Sing your heart out, sing my heart out

I've found grace inside a sound

I found grace, it's all that I found

And I can breathe

Breathe now
