[Intro] One, two, three [Verse 1] I'm standing on the porch Like it's the edge of a cliff Beyond the grass and gravel lies a certain abyss And I don't think I will try it today I'm facing a squall like of a thousand-year storm I don't know if I'm dying or about to be born But I'd like to be with you today Yes, I'd like to be with you today [Chorus] And I won't stay for long I've got a place of my own A little slice There's a sliver of air between the water and the ice It's where I live, where I breathe An abandoned song It echoes through this well I've fallen in If I could just remember the smell of your skin Then I could live, I could breathe
I could breathe [Verse 2] I'm asking perfect strangers if I look to be alright I feel like I lost an anger in the ocean of my night And I don't want you to see me this way I won't tell a soul I'll only worship the sun I won't turn around to find you when the moment is done I just need to be close today I need to be with you today [Chorus] And I won't stay for long I've got a place of my own A little slice There's a sliver of air between the water and the ice It's where I live, where I breathe An abandoned song It echoes through this well I've fallen in If I could just remember the smell of your skin I could live, I could breathe I could breathe
