[Verse 1]It's so difficult to look back when every image is crackedJust a cover turning pages each day in my almanacYou see, I move beside the shipwreck of where my years have goneWondering if fortune will smile upon me long enough to drag you along[Chorus]Your breathing patterns bring the sunNew voices for when days are doneYou've filled my lungs[Verse 2]For a cautious optimisticI'm best kept as a party guestFor now a welcome contributionYou moving from east to west[Chorus]Your breathing patterns bring the sunNew voices for when days are doneYou've filled my lungs, you've filled my lungsYou've filled my lungs, you've filled my lungs[Verse 3]If I stick to what I know then I'm just stuck to what I've doneStill sore from being burned by every fire I've begunEvery postcard is a post-war transmission and every word's a new beginningI've destroyed my reputation, struck fear in the hearts of menAnd I've become a walking complicationCan't make those mistakes again[Chorus]Our breathing patterns bring the sunNew voices for when you have goneYou've filled my lungs, you've filled my lungs[Outro]You've filled my lungs, you've filled my lungsYou've filled my lungs, you've filled my lungsYou've filled my lungs, you've filled my lungsYou've filled my lungs, you've filled my lungs
