Take a second to breathe...
A California dream come true
A healing stone you kept from view
I gave and gave to you but never grew
The day that you discarded me
I heaved a sigh of sweet relief
You taught how to ask for what I need
Take a second to breathe me in
Breathe me into your body, into your soul
I don't want you to speak to me with words
Listen with your feelings
I'm more than what you see
Take a second to center me
You would have me believe that you happened to be at my favorite spot
Trying to claim my time and pick up where we left off
Only talking about yourself, talking about your problems
Talking about the people who always seem to cause them
I got it then, and I get it now
You can't care; you can't be bothered to
Take a second to breathe me in
Breathe me into your body, into your soul
I don't want you to speak to me with words
Listen with your feelings
I'm more than what you see
Take a second to center me
Breathe, breathe, breathe
You taught me how to ask for, ask for what I need
Now I'm going to ask you learn to center me
