Array ( [sid] => 79057 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Exhale [time] => 2005-01-08 18:46:26 [hometext] => sometimes i forget to breathe... [bodytext] => breathe in, exhale

you’re talking again
trying to make it sound normal
trying to say my name
but it touches those lips
the word contorts and dies
the gymnast didn’t make it off the bar
just hanging there

every now and again we forget to breathe
without each other there to remind us
reminding me to exhale

you’re talking again
trying to make it sound real
trying to set the stage
but who are you trying to fool?
I wrote the play
I wrote the score
it’s just not believable anymore

every now and again we forget we know
every thing about us, every sad little thing
you are a date penciled in on my calendar
when I see you I nearly swallow my breath

you are waiting for me to exhale
breathe in, breathe out
you smile because I say it out loud… breathe in…

exhale

gahh! i left out a line!

every now and again we forget to breathe
without each other there to remind us
"you are a string, tied to my finger"
reminding me to exhale

you might have noticed that it sort of chopped off... sorry, guys!!
