A long breath
He lays his head upon her chest
As they face the night
A long time
Since they were 23 and wild
So much has changed

Ooh he cries
In a photograph I still see her laugh
Wish I'll see it once more
Time's unkind to us
Gifts of bones and dust
So much left to be told

Breathe for me, oh my darling
Just breath for me, my sweet angel
Yeah, breathe for me, oh my darling
Just breathe for me, yeah

She needs time
She's known him most of her whole life
Now he fades away
And these lights
Have grayed the iris in his eyes
They're not the same

Ooh she says
In all honesty if it's meant to be
Then we need to let go
In an hourglass
Sand will never last
We keep wishing for more

Breathe for me, oh my darling
Just breath for me, my sweet angel
Yeah, breathe for me, oh my darling
Just breathe for me

Stay tonight don't fall behind
Hold on for dear life
Stay tonight don't fall behind
Hold on for dear life

In a photograph
I can see them laugh
Can you see it
Do you see it
In a photograph
I can see them laugh
Can you see it
Do you see it

Breathe for me, oh my darling
Just breath for me, my sweet angel
Now breathe for me, oh my darling
Just breathe for me

Yeah
Oh

Breathe for me, oh my darling
Just breath for me, my sweet angel
Yeah, breathe for me, oh my darling
Just breathe for me
