At first I was scared when I opened up my head And the motor that was runnin' was the mind of you I was scared when I looked at my reflection and the shine I saw were the eyes of you I was scared when you touched my lips And the breath I took was a breath that shook me with a shock Like a flame as eternal as a song and the song is you and I I will let you breathe through me I will let you be with me Whenever I'm alone and you're lost out there I can feel you breathe ‘cause our lungs we share Whenever I'm alone anytime anywhere I can feel your heart beat ‘cause our blood we share I was scared when you came into my room The walls became the sea, your voice was the moon Oh when you rocked me in your arms Like a song, a wave on the tide of you and I I will let you breathe through me I will let you be with me My heart beats your blood Your breath fills my lungs Your heart beats my blood My breath fills your lungs I was scared when you came into my room The walls became the sea, your voice was the moon Oh when you rocked me in your arms Be with me... I will let you breathe through me I will let you... I will let you... I will let you...
