Breathe

A friend I had once told me
Such an unusual story
Of a man who did breathe in
But never did breathe out

This tale reminds me of you
Though a different shade of blue
You cannot always take and never give
This is not how to live

You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around

Though I don't know this for sure
Just another knock at my door
A sprinkling of an inkling
Underneath an apple tree

I'll tell you when I find out
And show you what it is to breathe out
A natural progression lesson
Messing up your mind

You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around

I feel in you another way to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I watch as you breathe over me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm breathing

Like a tale on Jackanory
The end to this unusual story
Is a breath upon a window pane, so come on
Step out of the rain, yeah yeah

Thought I'd like to think this were true
You've become a deeper shade of blue
In my eyes, this comes as no surprise
You've nothing left to give, no

You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around

Breathe in and out
Spread a little love
Breathe in and out
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta breathe
