Holding My Breath

I've been holding my breath

I've been taking it in

I've been keeping it hid just to let it all go

Was it something I said

Living old as a kid

Well I never quite did

If you really must know

I've been starting the car

I've been feeding the fire

And I try to go far

But I only go in

And you're there at the door

I don't know anymore

So I devise a plan

To end up in your arms

I'm a step in the sand

Feel me run through your hands

I'm a girl on the wall

Though we never have met

I'm a child and it shows

Oh, and God only knows

When the wind of youth blows

I am holding my breath

I've been living for thrill

In my complacent will

Full of power until

Every term comes to me

And I wake from my trance

With my head in your hands

And I watch as you dance

Through the edges of me

I've been reading the signs

Wait a minute, am I

But I promise I'm fine

This is just how it goes

I'm a casualty

Of the numbers you read

While you're waiting on me

While you're waiting on me

I've been holding my breath

I've been taking it in

I've been keeping it hid just to let it all go

I'm a child and it shows

Oh, and God only knows

When the wind of youth blows

I am holding my breath

I'm a child and it shows

Oh, and God only knows

When the wind of youth blows

I am holding my breath
