One, two, three
I'm standing on the porch
Like it's the edge of a cliff
Beyond the grass and gravel lies a certain abyss
And I don't think I will try it today
I'm facing a squall line of a thousand-year storm
I don't know if I'm dying or about to be born
But I'd like to be with you today
Yes, I'd like to be with you today
And I won't stay for long
I've got a place of my own, a little slice
There's a sliver of air between the water and the ice
It's where I live, where I breathe
An abandoned song
It echoes through this well I've fallen in
If I could just remember the smell of your skin
Then I could live, I could breathe
I could breathe
I'm asking perfect strangers if I look to be alright
I feel like I lost an anchor in the ocean of my night
And I don't want you to see me this way
I won't tell a soul, I'll only worship the sun
I won't turn around to find you when the moment is done
I just need to be close today
I need to be with you today
And I won't stay for long
I've got a place of my own, a little slice
There's a sliver of air between the water and the ice
It's where I live, where I breathe
An abandoned song
It echoes through this well I've fallen in
If I could just hold onto the smell of your skin
I could live, I could breathe
I could breathe
