[Verse 1] There are times every now and then I forget why I'm breathing out And why I'm breathing in And I get so sick with the little things I cant relax when it's happening To know what it means It means [Chorus] And then I open my eyes And I know you're beating my heart Beating my heart Look at the sky I know you're beating my heart Beating my heart I go extra miles to show That you are the one thing that I've got Look at the sky I know you're beating my heart Beating my heart (verse 2) There's a sun coming over the horizon I wanna know where its coming from But doesn't everyone Its like who am I And why am I here [Chorus] [Bridge] This whole world will take me down Without you standing by my side My side You're holding onto me You're making everything inside Come alive [Chorus]
