lyrics

FILLING UP OUR LUNGS

V1
I heard you whisper low and to yourself
I heard you telling nearly no one else
I heard you crying on your knees
But I lost you in a scattering of leaves
Leaves that

CH
Move in the shadow of the sun
Stood barely there begun
And you, you were filling up your lungs
With who you knew we would become

V2
I felt you frown upon your silent fear
I felt you quiver like an autumn, dear
I felt you examining my hands
Where I lost you before the hour passed
It passed and

CH
Moves in the shadow of the sun
Stood barely there begun
And you, you were filling up your lungs
With who you knew we would become

B
Oooh

V3
I found you seated with a steady stare
I found you holding what you could not dare
I found you buried in my chest
Now I have you tonight and all the rest
The rest has

CH
Moved in the shadow of the sun
Stood barely yet begun
And soon, we were filling up our lungs
With who we knew we would become

B
Oooh
