Lyrics
Between two lungs it was released
The breath that carried me
The sigh that blew me forward
'Cause it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs, it was
Trapped between two lungs, it was
Trapped between two lungs
And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming, "we are all too young to die"
Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
It flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine, it crept
Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
It flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine, it crept
'Cause it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs, it was
Trapped between two lungs
Gone are the days of begging, the days of theft
No more gasping for a breath
The air has filled me head to toe
And I can see the ground far below
I have this breath and I hold it tight
And I keep it in my chest with all my might
I pray to God this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips, as I
Gasp, gasp
Hah, ah, ah, ah
Writer(s): Florence Leontine Mary Welch, Isabella Janet Florentina Summers
