Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I swear these thoughts are nothing but static
Busy but I just can't break the habit
Got me hidden inside it's some kind of magic
But it's never too late, for something drastic
When the madness moves me to the edge
You say come to me and you'll find rest
So I'll breathe it in
My soul needs oxygen
Without you I'm incomplete
Something in the air
In the atmosphere
You're pulling me like gravity
Gotta be (gotta be) still and
Breathe (breathe) breathe
Be still and
Breathe (breathe) breathe
I know your word is worth my attention
But I lose your voice when I stand at a distance
I wanna feel your heartbeat moving again
How can I when I won't shut up and listen
When distractions drive me to the edge
You say come to me and you'll find rest
So I'll breathe it in
My soul needs oxygen
Without you I'm incomplete
Something in the air
In the atmosphere
You're pulling me like gravity
Just gotta be (gotta be) still and
Breathe (breathe) breathe
Be still and
Breathe (breathe) breathe
Breathe (breathe)
Be still and
Breathe (breathe) breathe
So I'll breathe it in
My soul needs oxygen
Without you I'm incomplete
Something in the air
In the atmosphere
You're pulling me like gravity
Just gotta be (gotta be) still and
Breathe (breathe) breathe
Be still and
Breathe (breathe) breathe
Be still and
Breathe (breathe) breathe
Breathe (breathe) breathe
