I'll Hold My Breath

in AlbumLights

Breathe air you're not used to

Tread floors you don't fall through

Make waves...

You crash a symbol hard

Follow no one, always play the wrong card

Waste days in foreign places

Shed light on your better side

Reassure me that you'll wait for me, wait for me as long as it takes!

And I'll hold my breath, I'll hold my breath

Until you see me in your dreams

We'll stay awake beneath the trees

We'll watch the buildings turn to dust

A sky of diamonds just for us

You are the risk I'll always take

The only branch I'll never break

Those fears we'll blow them all away, we'll blow them all away

Fight fires in your best clothes,

Touch skin with your eyes closed

Chase thunder with the volume down

Pack a suitcase, wander to the next town

Force quit on your losing streak

Solve a riddle in a magazine, be tongue in cheek

Tell me that we're still too young,

That we're still too young and I'll hold my tongue

Until you see me in your dreams

We'll stay awake beneath the trees

We'll watch the buildings turn to dust

A sky of diamonds just for us

You are the risk I'll always take

The only branch I'll never break

Those fears we'll blow them all away, we'll blow them all away

I'm here, I'm here to take you

I'll swim, I'll swim to save you

No fall, I'm here to catch you

I'll swim, I'll swim to save you...

Until you see me in your dreams

We'll stay awake beneath the trees

We'll watch the buildings turn to dust

A sky of diamonds just for us

You are the risk I'll always take

The only branch I'll never break

Those fears we'll blow them all away, we'll blow them all away
